International Renationalisation
Posted by Charles Mudede on Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 4:52 PM
Although we can never go back to the noble projects of social democracy or socialism (which was really only managed capitalism), it is pleasant to see that socialist feelings are not totally cold:
(BBC) Most people [in the UK] are in favour of returning the railways to public ownership, with just 23% supporting privatisation, according to a poll.Best of all, Maggie is still alive to see this shift in public opinion.A survey of more than 1,000 people for the Rail Maritime and Transport union (RMT), found seven out of 10 of those questioned backed renationalisation.
The state of the railways will be debated by the TUC conference in Liverpool later this week.
The RMT will be calling for support for full rail renationalisation.
