Anarchy means no or hardly any governament, different to a uncontrolled governament. I don't support uncontrolled governament either, but you simply dont need to sacrifice one for another.

Parliament are responsible for making sure the governament to maintain accountability, so the system is already in place.

Sorry I didn't make it clear, the governament I was referring to is the people whoes in power, people who are running the office.

Since not all parliament members are from the same party, you'll find them question officials whenver they can. Parliament members are also elected by people, so the proportion of the parliament members who support are also some indication what about public wants.

You can always take your issue up to your local MPs, and that's how they work, a representative of the people. They are tasked to keep the ones who is running the office in check.

About the German (Angela Merkel) discussion:
I (and all people I know) dont really care what American diplomats think about her. I think it's normal, that each government has a file/opinion about person X. What we do care about is the "additional" information - like Westerwelle (our foreign minister) saying "I will tell everything from my meetings with diplomats form Iran/China to the USA".
But this has nothing to do with the USA - but with the credibility of our minister. And those actions (giving away diplomatic information to the USA) are really really troubling.
