Yes indeed.
I'm trying to think of a form of government where the electorate votes for the government it wants, but once having been elected that government - and its civil service - rules as it sees fit, even if that is not the will of the majority of the electorate.
I think that the nearest formal description of that sort of government might be a 'totalitarian democracy'.
