Since companies privatised is all about profit making and aiming is high higher and higher. There is no such limit. There will be fancy words invented such as " Standing charge" etc. I could go on and on :) this is what I call super capitalism and happens everywhere.
There should be a healthy 50 / 50 and I think this could work.
There is nothing wrong with profit, you write as if there is. Profit creates tax revenue, creates and secures jobs and wealth. Profit is the key driver for economic success. 50:50 is pie in the sky, no private investor would want the government as an equal partner as it would be a deadweight around the neck of a business. Government has no role to play in this and needs to keep out.
You also do not understand at all how profit is created from what you say. This is not a them and us situation as so many people seem to think.
