For a complete education on the relations between politicians and civil servants or party policies vs. civil service policy in a Westminster style democracy, I strongly recommend a full review of "Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minister".
A few good quotes (approximate, as based on my recollection):
On the ethics of civil servants:
"Very good Bernard, you'll be a complete moral vacuum yet"
On the implementation of party policies:
"This is British democracy, a government of her Majesty's appointed civil servants tempered from time to time by general elections"
