Your taxi trade is a perfect example of a huge and potentially powerful industry with no control over anything. You don't seriously believe this is all an accident, do you? 
It used to be free until the wrong people took an interest in it, the Addison Lee type companies, now it's plagued with "crackers" enslaving both black and whites this time, I know a lot is now flawed, but opening doors isn't going to help anyone trust me I've been there and still have to sit amongst the irreversible damage.
Until driver and owner controls are properly regulated to keep baron's and unsuitables out there can be no de-restriction, in fact PH currently needs restricting, whether that should be done on plate issue or companies having to prove they can feed the numbers remains to be seen, but one thing I do know is if 50 mugs appear at the door of a PH office that is struggling to supply work, the owner of that firm will still take them on because of their sheer greed.
That's got feck all to do with it either.
Listen, having control over your own industry is not expecting those currently in control to regulate it for you. Don't you see? You are always looking outward for a solution. You perceive to be in the hands of those in authority. It's a control mechanism.
If we were all educated enough to develop a consensus of what represents our interests we wouldn't be arguing about what they allow us to have. We'd be taking control for ourselves.
The Legal fraternity is a classic example of those who regulate their own industry and represent their interests. Lawyers don't mug each other for jobs. It's a hierarchal carve-up.
Most come from privileged backgrounds or are at the very least, well-educated enough to know not to work against their own interest.
The taxi trade, on the other hand, is the flotsam and jetsam of society and a dumping ground for the bewildered herd.
You have no control over your own industry and therefore, the power to change anything. The rest is history.
Btw, this is not a philosophical debate about political systems, this is simply the way it works.
