MOST people support public ownership of crucial utilities such as energy and water, according to new research published today.
Campaign group We Own It says that its survey of 4,300 adults shows overwhelming backing for renationalisation, even among Tory voters.
More than three out of five members of the public — and a similar number of Conservatives — want to see publicly owned utilities, the group says in a new report.
