Policy formulation is a combination of negotiating and different methods of politics. It can get very complicated at times with the formulation process. For these reasons and more, many people have the opinion that new policy plans will fail because they will never get off the ground or they will just take far too long to be implemented that the problem would have been too great to fix at that point.
