Radical change and renationalisation scenario None of the three scenarios elaborated by the Commission, however, envision radical reform of the CAP which would phase out the rents that farmers (and increasingly, land owners) currently receive and at the same time would not expand dubious alternative centrally financed spending schemes related to agriculture. Why is this? The Commission (2011, 39) itself argues that “certain policy instruments that were discussed and suggested in the public debate and in the public consultation [were] not included in the options [considered by the Commission because these options were] judged to be less relevant to the objectives of the CAP, not complying with the general direction of CAP reform or politically unfeasible” (italics added by the author). Obviously, if the Commission is not even considering it, radical change is unlikely to happen any time soon. Without attractive side-payment scheme, this scenario is also unlikely to gain wide-spread domestic support in all but most liberal net contributing countries that would be better off with re-nationalized agricultural support measures. Countries such as Britain and Sweden which could gain from this scenario and lead the way with domestic support for it (and even there, only under certain domestic governing coalitions), are unable to find many allies in the Council. 63
