Quite simple. Those companies are either regulated and/or subject to market forces. Or both. So hike their prices unreasonably and one of the following happens: (a) their contract isn't renewed, (b) they are overruled by the regulator, or (c) customers leave in droves.

Does that give you a clear answer?

Isn' t that only the rail companies?, the energy companies are privately owned by share holders, to take away their contracts would mean re nationalising them and a tory gov won't do that.
 
Of course, Germany's industrial might has always been driven by fortuitous external circumstances.
That's not what I said.

But their continued export strength through an artificially weakened currency has been helped by the assimilation of East Germany and then the Euro.

If you aren't aware of that then..,, oh it's you. Never mind.
 
More to do with having a weak currency. Nothing like getting lucky. Twice.
No. He's another that gets confused on currency strength and its net impact on exports.

He even says the DM was strong. He can't even be arsed to do his own research.

Oh please! Don't get all sniffy, an air of superiority is reserved for those who are actually superior.

I spent 25 years flogging kit worldwide against the Germans and watching them weep in the hotel bar afterwards.
 
Why would there be a general election after a brexit vote? It would require Tory MPs to vote against the govt or abstain in a vote of confidence. If all goes well the Remainers would have to grin and bear it. If it goes badly the Remainers' priority would be to force a 2nd referendum, they'd have nothing to gain from bringing their govt down.

The only way that there will be a general election would be if we vote in and enough of the most virulent Leavers, such as Dorries, vote against the govt out of spite.
My thoughts are firstly that Cameron will not survive this referendum. He has played it so badly it's untrue.

Whoever succeeds him, regardless of whether we remain or leave will not be able to put the party back together, there will be too much dissent. For example can you see Gideon, May, Rudd and Morgan (to name but four) backing Boris? Or possibly, Redwood, Johnson, Gove, Cash and Rees Mogg (to name but five) working with ir alongside Gideon? Personally I can't see it can you?

The government will be a lame duck and have no choice but to go to the country. However you might be correct and they may just all kiss and make up and lead us into the future, or at least until the investigation into election fraud come to light. Again I just can't see it happening.

We will just have to wait and see I guess!
