So the wider point is that all experiences show that deregulation, in practice, fails, because politicians fuck it up even more than they fuck up regulated systems run by engineers.
And the lesson of this is that engineers try to take advantage of politicians less than financiers (and I'm comfortable saying this, being both). In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
Would the pols be hastening to offer them this costly (for EDF) way out if the businessfolk concerned weren't lobbying?
Because they provide jobs? Local taxes? In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
