Classical liberals, Rawlsian liberals, and libertarians all face the same public choice issues: they're not something any side can simply wave a wand at and make go away. The annoying part comes when either side pretends like the other side faces them as a unique challenge and the other isn't subject to it. (Traditional Burkean conservatism, on the other hand, doesn't face that issue in the same way: it accepts that government is inherently corruptible as part of the human condition and rejects the idea of a rationalist State.)
