I think the lesson of breaking up the monopolies is  there are big hikes in dividends and fees paid between suppliers. Even "better", all that money sloshing about attract lawyers, bankers, negotiators, accountants and other sundry parasites like locusts. All of whom are on double bubble and huge bonuses feeding off money that once never went anywhere. Trebles all round for liberating profitability.

It is impossible that this huge drain of resources can lead to lower prices and better deals, but, hey, if you can you can sell energy liberalisation to countries with perfectly settled energy markets, I have some penguins who need fridges.

I hope you're not suggesting liberalisation and reform are just self-serving semi-criminal scams?

Because that would be totally wrong.
