The government of the United Kingdom continues to repeat the error of believing that reducing regulations can improve the lives of businesses. The debate on regulation has been a topic of discussion for decades in British economic policy. From when Thatcher launched her 'great reform' of deregulation until Michael Heseltine invented the term 'bonfire of red tape', the government has sought to eliminate every possible impediment for businesses.

This approach has led to positive results but also to different types of problems. In particular, the government has tried to reduce regulations concerning environmental safety, public health, and consumer protection. However, these changes have had negative effects on business growth and their ability to compete globally.

Enterprises have had to adapt quickly to new conditions imposed by these regulations, often losing time and resources to meet requirements. The issue is not just about reducing regulations, but finding an equilibrium between the interests of enterprises and government control. The British government has sought to create a more competitive business environment, but this has led to an increase in administrative procedures and a reduction in innovation possibilities.

A notable example of this situation is represented by the recent promise made by John Healey, who stated that his projects would include measures to 'unleash the rules that are blocking signatures'. But as was predictable, these promises were interpreted as a step towards a more competitive society, when in fact it is another round behind the British economy's back. Indeed, while the government has sought to reduce regulations, it has also increased the amount of work necessary to meet such obligations.

This has led to a situation where enterprises have had to dedicate part of their energy and time to conforming to regulations, rather than focusing on other important economic challenges. In conclusion, the solution offered by the British government seems to be yet another round behind the British economy's back, where the problem lies in how relations with the government and the regulations that must be respected to face economic challenges are managed. To improve the lives of businesses, one must find an equilibrium between the interests of enterprises and government control, without completely renouncing environmental safety, public health, and consumer protection regulations.
