Generally all parties forming a cartel do so of their own free will. The market is distorted for other suppliers locked out of the agreement.

A single company can't form a cartel. Google it.
The example was of a cartel being formed by a supermarket chain and fuel suppliers, where do you see a single company?

You are arguing for the sake of it and I'm not participating in this nonsense any longer.
