I dunno, I think cutting your losses and starting over when you're dealing with a shitshow on this scale is pretty sensible.
Not if there are immense costs associated with cutting the project.
Nothing this government has done has been sensible or based on logic or fiscal calculations. It's all based on ideology and the will to humiliate the previous government in any way they can and of course to suppress opposition from any quarter.
