..  AIUI what this hashkafa forbids is haredim being members of the
government as currently constituted, because the government does things that
are assur, and the doctrine of cabinet responsibility means every minister
is responsible for all of the government's actions.  Even worse, often a
minister's own department is required by law to do things that are assur,
e.g. the dept of religions must by law fund avoda zara..

See VM p 93 based on the Maharal, that even if govt members were "kulom
ahuvim kulom berurim af ketanoim ve'amoroim" taking over the govt before
Moshiach is 'dechikas hakeitz' and kefireh in Torah and emunah. Ayen shom.
