The leadership of government organizations has pressure to get re-elected, or to get someone from their party elected.
I'm not sure whether you are simply ignorant how representative democracy is supposed to work, or whether you're feigning ignorance.

When it wasn't going well, it very much was a political issue at the forefront of political conversation.
