Britain run by Tescos!

So, what if Britain was run by Tescos? With £1 in £7 spent at Tescos how much better or worse would the country be economicaly?
Ok you may not be able to vote and other shops could be put out of business. More access maybe to your local 'MP', the local supermarket manager, and the customer complants dept is there then and now. Shares can be brought in the goverment and those shareholders can make the goverment answer any questions we have.
As those who are ill or sick cannot spend money, more effort will made to get them better?
Prices of wholesale materials higher or lower? War with Walmart?
Is this the most silly thing ever on here? I think not.

Sorry for any spellage.;)

ASB is an understatement here

Really? FH, maybe...

Greece has just appointed a technocrat instead of a politician as PM to try and drag themselves out of a hole - essentially because it placates the markets. Similarly, the markets have unseated the PM of one of the G7 countries (Italy). In fact, more and more government policy is justified by the reaction of this nebulous 'markets' thing - for example, the coalitions deficit reduction strategy is justified by the fact that it has ensured that the market keeps interest rates low, stabalising debt, allowing easier refinancing, etc. etc. Meanwhile, growth bumps along the bottom, lengthening any recovery. I think it's not too many shocks from the current 'politicians make policy to curry the markets favour' to 'business makes policy'. How about something like this:

2011 / early 12 - Interest Rates spiral in Italy, Spain and increasingly France. Desperate to remain in control of its own economy, Germany backs a plan to allow countries to leave the Euro. This keeps the German economy together, at the expense of a Europe wide recession.

The coalition acts to minimise the impact of the recession on the UK by enacting market and business friendly legislation. It becomes easier to fire people, more difficult to claim unfair dismissal, and the Minimum wage is lowered. In the background, advisors from various businesses are given early view of all relevant legislation.

The scope of legislation grows as arguments are made in smoke filled rooms and gentlemens clubs that most things affect the economy.

A newspaper expose of the new power of the businesses fails to cause the government to fall due to its relative success in insulating the UK from the wider recession, leading to popular indifference to the way it has happened. Business advisors become part of the government machine as SPAD(B)s, and senior management of the UKs most successful businesses (including Tescos, BAES, Close Brothers banking group) are incorporated into the cabinet as cross bench peers.

After a year of success and growth, the real power within the cabinet is acknowleged with the Tescos chairman Lord Reid of Cheshunt becoming PM, BAES chair Lord Oliver Defence and Close Brothers Lord Macpherson Chancellor of the Exchequer.
 
How is their customer service attitude?

I do know that I would much prefer to deal with government agencies that have the weird concept of doing it for the customer rather than doing it to the customer.
