The public sector putting in not for profit bids again is no bad thing, as long as they have no advantages over private sector bids in the process.<br /><br />Also the public sector running a non profit company alongside private companies in a sector does no harm; people have the choice to use it or not. <br /><br />Of course as soon as the Government nationalises sectors wholesale leaving with the end consumer with no choice (as proposed by Labour) creating a monopoly in the sector things tend not to go so well. If you can only get your electricity from British Electric then you have no control over the price you pay. Over time this will probably result in you paying more than you would if there was a market subject to market forces.

Why bother polling if the result is to be overruled anyway? If Scots can't vote for what they want (e.g. indyref), and their MPs will not be allowed near cabinet due to EVEL, then what does it matter how they vote?Scottish Skierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584099659760612109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-18242564130535948832019-11-16T10:00:40.147+00:002019-11-16T10:00:40.147+00:00Agreed on Labour, although I have a suspicion they...Agreed on Labour, although I have a suspicion they may continue to climb in polls simply due to the 'This is my only option for paralyzing brexit in some way' vote.

Only 'tax dodgers alliance' Tories are opposed to core utilities like electricity, rail, water etc being nationalised. <br /><br />Broadband doesn't make as much sense though. Not personal provision / your home package anyway. But then Labour are not really proposing that, but nationalisation of network provision, which actual does have logic to it. The fact that we have multiple mobile networks for example is just plain stupid; 3 masts where only one is needed etc... A government owned network upon which private people/companies can operate is eminently sensible. It is the basis for land transport networks such as roads and rail in most countries.
