Joe1888 672 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) Theres alot of stuff getting mentioned up here at the moment about the likes of the snp and greens being refused a place on the tv debates coming up. Snp membership has soured recently since the 18th from 25,000 to 82,000, greens also picked up a few more members are a uk wide party, that still doesnt look enough for the likes of bbc etc to include them in the debates with likes of labour,tories,libs,ukip A recent poll from a uk elect website now has the snp oncourse to be the third biggest party in the uk after the general election. Heres the current prediction: Labour 291Conservatives 265SNP 38Liberal Democrats 23UKIP 9DUP 8Sinn Féin 5Plaid Cymru 3SDLP 3Greens 3Others 2 If it happens, still early days.. It makes things very interesting... Going on the above theres a chance of it being a labour/snp coalition.... ( waits for a few members to regain breath ) What do yous reckon, should the snp and greens be included in the debate and is there chance of snp joining up with labour?( no chance it would be tories ) Edited November 3, 2014 by Joe1888 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 51,348 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 As an aside, I heard something very interesting today....... Power companies buy electric from themselves as they own the generators and the service supply !!........now this strange turn of events means they can hide the true profit margin they earn out of every customer as they can charge themselves what they like for the electric !!! How did this strange turn of events come to pass? Well, when first privatised they had to put it all in a central pool and all pay the same.........then 1997 and Blair came along And..... In order to pander to coal mining areas the Labour Party did a deal that would let the power companies ALSO own the generator companies (which the conservatives had not allowed them to do) in return for them promising to buy coal instead of cheaper gas !! This means that we are left now with the so called "big 6" who pretty much pull every fuckers pants down. Power to the people and the working man huh brothers !!!

sandymere 8,263 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Re privatise em then, get the profit back in the public purse not rich feckers pockets bring back the Tooting Popular front. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 51,348 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I don't think you can "re-privatise" something that's already private......that's called stealing (or appropriation of private individuals property by the government) Come to think of it, sounds right up any politicians street !! Lol lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,965 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I think Sandy meant re-nationalise, possibly. Anyway, we all know how good the govt are at running industry........ Nationalising essential industry makes all the sense in the world on the face of it, unfortunately historically it hasn't quite worked out as well as it should. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol lol Sorry to say, Wilf, but you CAN; it's called a "compulsory purchase order". It's happened many times in the past when the government has wanted to build or expand something, and houses and businesses have be bought weather the owners wanted to sell or not.
