No we actually voted for her because we want people who will put the civil service in their place, which is to enact the Democratically elected governments policies. If they aren't doing that then you might need to raise your voice.
Actually most people expect the Civil service to follow the law and theirjob is specifically to advise the politicians even if that advise is not what the politician wants to hear (in fact that could be argued to be one of the most important things they can do*).
Not the random will of politicians, or a government that tries to bypass the law.
One of the reasons for this is that is means the polticians are kept to some degree honest, and also it helps cut down on the number of huge mistakes that were easily preventable - civil servants spend their entire careers learning how to do their job, what happens when things go wrong (and how to avoid that where possible), and the law in regards to that.
Ministers tend to get dropped into a job where if you're lucky they'll have glanced as a 5 page summary and then start making decisions - you just have to look at the likes of the minister for NI who apparently couldn't be bothered to read the most basic documents about some extremely important parts of his job and expressed surprise when his decisions were not met with a warm welcome when he made elementary school level mistakes.
To be honest I'm amazed she was allowed back into government after her unauthorised and undeclared meetings with members of a foreign government, that's normally taken as a fairly serious thing as in it raises all sorts of questions about your integrity and how safe it is to let you anywhere near sensitive information.
But I can understand exactly why she appeals to some people, who care for more important things than the rule of law, the conventions of government (such as the rules you're expected to follow as a member of it), and so on.
*Otherwise you a situation where the government is making terrible decisions because people are too scared to tell them that their idea won't work how they want it to (and the reasons, preferably with suggestions on how to make it work), or is illegal.
