I agree with this. Being run by a democratically elected government (and the threat of losing votes that follows) is not a sufficient mechanism for ensuring quality operation and service.
A lack of profit incentive is a plus regardless though, IMO. Sadly the motive of the profit driven private services and their consequent lobbying seems to be diametrically opposed to the competent running of a public service
