Right-wing thinktank polls UK, find vast majority favour Labour's policies

Cory Doctorow 7:38 am Fri Sep 29, 2017

In Public opinion in the post-Brexit era, the centre-right thinktank Legatum reveals that 83% of Britons favour re-nationalising water companies; 77% want to re-nationalise electricity, and 76% want to re-nationalize the railroads.

Although Corbyn remains personally unpopular, opinion appears to be siding with his policies. "The ground is shifting", says The Daily Telegraph, while the New Statesman declares: “After decades in which the market has held sway, voters are ready to summon Leviathan from the depths.”
