Indeed, which is why I always will argue for good policy implemented for the right reasons, not whatever is politically expedient at the time. The diesel farce was caused by lazy, arbitrary incentives/disincentives in Europe (and particularly the UK) and is exactly the type of thing that leads people to being opposed to good policy, like the carbon tax.
