Ironically, there might be less scope for political control if banks were in formal, least-cost-resolution receivership. A bank that has already failed cannot fail.
That's one more advantage to not nationalizing the banking system. As long as a bank is not formally nationalized and no matter how many times the government says it has no intention or desire to nationalize it, the implicit threat is there and can be used to pressure management.
