Is it b) corrupt?
Coalition loses billions in public money: Is the UK Govt stupid, corrupt, or both?In the three years of Coalition Government, the taxpayer has been losing money hand over fist as the state sells public assets for less than they are worth, and buys private assets at more than they are worth. In just the last week we have seen the the undervaluing of Royal Mail shares and the state guaranteeing EDF Energy twice the market rate for energy produced by their new nuclear power stations. Is the UK Government stupid, corrupt, or both?

ooh, that's not just a thing from the PIIGS then? :-)
maybe they they restrict some things to paid lobbyists there too (something which has a strong smell of legalised corruption)
The paid lobbying sector is a huge problem here.
