And who knows which other company is better (and that it isn't worse), and how many deaths do you accept to find out? > Governments that are complained about stay in office, although people like > the tea party members are showing they can mount a significant campaign to > "throw the rascals out".

The trick with Tweedledum/Tweedledee is that "change" does not change things. "Tory Plan B." > But the private firm can lose its contract next week. How do you ensure that the 2-3 available fire service firms in a given town do not apply the Tweedledum/Tweedledee trick (a.k.a. cartel)?
