It always amazes me how gullible people think that nationalisation will miraculously make a service cheap and better.

At best the price will fall by the profit margin of the private company, typically 5% or so. Any further reduction would have to be subsidised by the taxpayer. i.e YOU.

Unifying a service in the state sector would simply make it vulnerable to strike action by unions. Do we really want to go back to the bad old 70's?
