I don't think it's being done purely to spite another
government. If you had a business, you wouldn't invest in staff and equipment to make & maintain the system if there was a chance the next government would scrap it, would you?

yeah but it's the government that's trying to tie it up,
of course I don't blame the companies so much for going for the business deal.

Of course they are, because no business in its right mind would invest otherwise.

Well, quite.
It's a bit of an awkward state of affairs, though.
