Insubordination as Democracy

What happens if Obama supporters in government here find themselves working sometime later under a Sarah Palin administration?
A poll taken by the government employees’ newspaper Republic shows that 54% of such employees are not willing to work under a Freedom Party (PVV) minister or deputy minister. Sixty-eight percent think it would be a disaster if the PVV would be in the government.

If Dutch civil servants are too 'moral' to work under a Geert Wilders-influenced government, how can we expect American civil servants supportive of Obama to deal with Sarah Palin-- or anyone else they don't like?
