Claiming that competition does not bring prices is rubbish, there is no evidence to support that claim. My assertion would be that bureaucracy, in pursuit of its objective to control monopolies, has only succeeded in creating smaller versions (oligopolies) of the same. So the consumer is left no better off, in fact worse because as far as a oligopoly is concerned, there's safety in numbers. |

And then of course there is the Collective Price Fixing which has to be vigorously denied. We are supposed to believe that it’s coincidence that if one company ups the price the others follow. Amazing, same for the Petrol Companies. |

| 1326220 | 2013-02-03 01:36:00 | Yes, it is a little difficult to see the claimed reductions in electricity price this so-called competition has 'delivered'. These politicians and bureaucrats treat us as if we are brainless sheep with no memories. Yet perhaps we are, as we continually encourage them by treating them as sane human beings, instead of as the sociopathic criminals they are. Up against the wall with them I say! |

| 1326221 | 2013-02-03 01:41:00 | Any time the phrase "best (international) practice" appears, it is safe to expect hogwash at best and outright lies on average. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 1326222 | 2013-02-03 02:02:00 | Hogwash? Luxury. We were lucky if we got that. Hedgehog-wash were all our Mum and Dad could afford. Happy to get it, we were. ;) |
