[Harry Potter] Why aren't the mages taking a more active interest in Muggle affairs?

In the books, the only contact we see between the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government of the U.K is when the Ministry informs the Prime Minister of their existence. 

Why are they limiting themselves to just that? They have the means and the ability to infiltrate the government at any level and manipulate existing members to do their bidding. Why aren't they doing more to suppress us muggles and elevate themselves, or at least give themselves a greater ability to preserve the statute of secrecy?

Why don't they just combine with muggles slowly, you know how awesome combining magic with science would be, and if everyone becomes half wizard slowly through genetics (it would take a lot of generations) there can be choices far beyond what normal humans can study.
