    Speaking from Canada here, based on what I’ve seen from our politicians I’m not sure you would want follow through on that… both Liberal (centre-left) and Conservative parties have done stints to “balance the budget” which simply involve selling off wholesale a major public asset (a toll road, our electric company to name a couple).

    I’m aware a lot of the big stuff was already sold off over the last 40 years, but still many a politician and investor are licking their lips for a slice of the NHS…
