Majority of British Public Want to Nationalize Rail, Energy Companies
What could possibly go wrong?
The majority of the British public – including the majority of Conservative voters – support nationalising the energy and rail companies
Labour's plan to freeze energy prices for 20 months has re-ignited the debate over the role of the government in markets, with Conservatives arguing intervention is a 'con' while Labour claim the state should 'reset' the market. Shadow transport secretary Mary Creagh has even suggested Labour are open to re-nationalising train services.
However, YouGov research for the Centre for Labour and Social Studies finds voters of all politics united in their support for nationalisation of energy and rail.
