We are in fact their bosses (directly or indirectly) but we have unfortunately lost sight of that fact, which is a shame because they have now become a law unto themselves. Think of it logically; we vote for MPs to look after our interests (ha!) they then creat institutions (with or without our consent) to help them govern. These institutions are called the Civil Service, National Health, Education, Army, Navy, quangos etc. All these institutions are controlled by Government which is employed (voted in) by us. Of course we have no authority over them because we have devolved our authority to Parliament. They are still employed by us albeit indirectly.
