Tories see no point in public spending if it's not to enrich their corporate allies (and consequently themselves by way of the revolving door).
Even the tories can see that rail privatisation has been a dismal failure, and they don't want to go to work for a rail company after they leave politics.

So what's the solution?

Proportional Representation.
Tories nearly always win less than 50% of the popular vote, yet nearly always win 100% of the power thanks to FPTP and gerrymandering. PR would put an abrupt end to that.
