This.
and if you want to do that a) you have to make the penalties for breaking the law so severe that it wouldn't make economic sense to do it, otherwise they would do is carry on breaking the law and pay the fines whilst reaping higher profits, because it's an economic consideration not a moral one and b) Really, if you want to do that, probably best not to vote in a Tory administration, eh? Oh wait. Oh, you already did. Bad luck, there.
