That would be a reduction in the service quality, which is the other thing that always happens when utility services are privatised. So you get to pay more money for less service. The company has no incentive to provide a good service, because what else are you going to do?

    The government has no incentive to provide a good service because what are you going to do? Stop paying?

    No I can't when the people voting just say "let's the government do it" without thinking about why or what would that improve. I can vote against the current gov, I can try to convince people or make them think but as you proved in a previous reply they will just ignore it.

    No you can't personally decide who runs anything, in either case. But you get a vote when it's a government, you get nothing when it's private.
