Why do we need to reduce the shareholdings to zero? Why is there not a benefit for the State in having an input? The banks took major decisions the State had very little control over and then the taxpayers ended up being the net losers and the people had to bail them out. Why should we walk away and let them have a free hand without having some input in the long term?
