I don’t come at it from an ideological perspective. Say for example JC’s policy on nationalising OpenReach, industry experts and former leaders of BT said it was a terrible decision that would affect many jobs.
Now, I think the rail industry is a disgrace and I’m open to nationalising that definitely, once I see a bit more detail I can make my mind up.
I’m perfectly happy for basic necessities to be under public ownership, such as energy and transport and mail etc. Im not opposed to it at all, if it makes sense practically.
I just think the whole Corbyn package wasn’t right but then I couldn’t bring myself to vote Tory, my seat is always Tory or Liberal anyway, so went LibDem.
The Social Democrat Party are my party in the UK, left wing economically but don’t have anything to do with the metropolitan bohemian bourgeois lot.
Trouble is they never stand anyone where I am.
I have the same view on nationalisation. There is a time and a place for it. The rail system in the UK is a mess, as are utility companies. But the solutions are different. They need reorganising and regulating first and full nationalisation when that doesn't work.
