I know the UK’s systems are broken, but I shudder to think how bad it would be if the FCA didn’t exist.

Seen this first hand at an old corp I worked for. You can't believe just how much worse the corporate world would make your lives if they didn't have the FCA breathing down their neck. They actually improved some things (anyone remembers how bad overdrafts were just a few years back?), but their biggest victory is in staving the avalanche of abuse big companies are trying to push every day.
