I suggest we give the proposals a fair chance. If the network of sub-post offices doesn't look like its turning around its losses within a year of implementation then it's not a good sign and we should look at closures.

I'm trying to get the state out of the post office, give the postmasters a chance to be able to compete, trying to turn profits around so we don't need to fund.

Of course I agree with state regulation, which is intervention, a completely free market doesn't work. Numerous other businesses are subsidised, such as the bus and rail services.
