Personally I (totally) agree, impersonally I disagree.

I've had experience on this situation when I was in Italy when a politic
government could not be done in the past and the nation have had a "technical"
government with very good ministers. They have made a very, very good job
but for a limited time because the representatives of politic didn't accept
to be replaced. What is the moral? There is a part in the community who can
move opinions and destroy the good job of "skilled" persons, if these technical
members don't have the ability to be a little more leader.
