Interesting, so why would you prefer to live in a world where the Crown decided not to prosecute and Alan Bates was prevented from doing so?

Yes, because for every one Alan Bates case, there are ten cases of billion-pound companies abusing this right

The ones bought by the post office weren’t typical private prosecutions - the Post Office is one of a handful of bodies allowed to directly bring prosecutions alongside the CPS. Yes, very happy to have those organisations lose they right.
