I’m not saying politicians could run industries better, it’s a balancing act between public/private and effective regulation. It’s far from black and white.
Freedom from the EU could permit awarding contracts to less favourable bidders for other reasons, e.g. the contract that employs people here rather than simply importing goods. I’m not saying that’s
always the road to take, but where bids are close enough the one that hypothetically employs thousands of people here will return millions in income tax revenue, VAT revenue, supports local economies.
As opposed to sending that money overseas to save a few quid.
We are going off on a tangent, and I don’t think we are a million miles apart.
