The failure of meritocracy, as explained by the Parkinson-Peter Principle:
1. Work expands to fill the time allotted to it.
2. In a hierarchy, every competent employee is promoted until he reaches a level of incompetence.
3. Over time, all positions thus fill up with incompetent people.
4. Incompetence expands to fill all positions in meritocratic systems.

Hey Montague. Thank you for your trust and support.
Nice pic of Comrade Murphy you got there?
Murkin..
Phew, thought you were on about me until I say the picture of the Gray one..
Hoi did you receive my reply?
Lol, 'Alex Salmond, First Minister' :D Well done BBC.
And if you were referring to Gray re incompetence, I just want to point out that I don't think Scottish Labour is a meritocracy... ;)
(Doesn't necessarily refute the 'incompetence' tag, though.)
