‘Red Wall’ voters overwhelmingly back nationalised energy and rail, poll finds

  1. And yet Labour refuse to call for energy to be brought into public ownership. Keir Starmer is so desperate to distance himself from Corbynism that he is refusing to adopt popular policies.

  2. It’s a poll commissioned by a pro nationalisation pressure group. That doesn’t matter in and of its self if the methodology is sound but I have concerns. It’s an open question rather than do you want to renationalise? (and potential mechanisms of doing this),; potential misunderstandings surrounding public ownership- I have my doubts as to whether 20% of voters want to privatise the NHS at the point of use. They also exclude don’t knows which is v questionable especially given the two other issues.are probably likely to inflate the number of don’t know answers.

    Plus people’s priority’s and what the think the government should prioritise matter just as much as simple for and against for flagship big project policies such as this.

  3. Red wall voters voted for change.

    They got that change…
    It was being fucked harder and faster.

    They knew what they were voting for…. just like brexit.

  4. I think they back cheaper energy and a rail service that’s even worth considering. I dont give a shit who owns it

  5. The same red wall that voted Tory? I dont think they know what they want at all.

    Like all those people who *knew* what brexit meant but seem to have no real clue what the fuck is happening now because of it.

  6. These folk are Tory voters. You get what you pay for and that includes even the poorest Tory voters who enable their Dear Leader, Boris.

  7. If only there had been a party on the ballot that supported that.

    Ah well, back to the 97 drawing board, hey, I’m sure they’ll love the next Blair 2.0 the party pulls out of the hat.
