In reality, the main right wing (or pro-market) parties fought tooth and nail against any sort of regulation (to be fair there were couple individuals who were exceptions). And to this day, pro-market supporters vote for some of these, so it's not like they are too unhappy about it. It's much like the difference between communist rhetoric and practice.
