Nice thought K, but history shows the board is as much "Captured" by the iron ring, as is the Minister, as is the CEO, who incidentally plays the roll of "bandmaster" deciding which tune the board will play.
Who sits on the board? Do we even know when they meet? Do we know what they discuss?
They are largely political appointees, being rewarded no doubt for past favours, the Mandarins would never allow them to ever consider anything of consequence. Think of Buckly, he tried to approach the board, but Saint Commode firmly slammed the iron door in his face.
We've really only had one industry appointee, who we had great hopes would influence true reform. A mouse that roared, he appeared to made a start with all guns blazing, but was quickly corralled by the iron ring and castrated, capitulating with barely a squeak.
The board are mice, only there for the cheese, the fat cats keep them firmly in their place.
