Penistone999 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I have had to think very hard( for the first time ever ) on who to vote for in the coming election. The problem being that I am not very endeared to Jermy Corbyn as the Labour leader . However this dilemma has now been solved by todays news that he if elected will renationalise the railways , the royal mail and energy industries this taking away from the robbing quangos that with .M.P's backing stole the public services in the first place. Let us hope that this is followed by our re owner ship of the Steel and haulage industries so as once again our Country can be run for the common good of all the citizens and not just the CHOSEN few. I thought we had gone back to 1971 when i saw Labours election manifesto . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister M Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 isn't that what you brexiters want? to go back to the 1970's. Judging by the posts of some of those who trumpet brexit, they'd be happy to go back to the 1770s and workhouses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apelike Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 It would be easier for the government to setup its own company and sell energy at a much more competitive price. This will drive the price down with the privately owned companies having to compete. According to the Labour (leaked) manifesto they will: "Create at least one publicly-owned energy company in every region of the UK, with public control of the transmission and distribution grids" Now, without going too Brexit is this possible at the moment as the EU has competition laws? I'm not sure if this will be in breach of those especially as 4 out of those big six are not British owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im really excited to see what they do with tariffs for industries like steel....might even get some coal mines open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
