Services by the people for the people. Bring the energy and water companies back into public ownership.

Gareth Brown, Rugby

Where is the competition? Even Cameron called it a cartel.

Mike Attewell, Durham

The only concern I have is that the government can’t even run the country. How are they going to cope with anything else?

Frank Lane, Doncaster

Utilities belong to the people.

Jerry Scales, Aylesbury

Energy for public good not private profit.

Brian Smith, Stockton Brook

Why don’t they learn?

Daniel Rolles, Dartford

Something as essential as power generation should not be in the hands of people whose only interest is in short term shareholder gain.

Mike Higgins, Minsterley

Energy should never have been privatised. We want it back.

Kevin Brown

I’m fed up chasing better deals.

John Podger, Ware

I agree with everything except the climate change bit. I just don’t believe Al Gore and the IPCC. I put my trust in honest men not cheats.

Richard Kent, Chard

Yes, nationalisation would be great. The prices are crazy at the moment.

Becky Sherwood, Totnes

Something as essential as our energy should not be in private hands.

Leigh Chorlton, Edinburgh

Re-nationalise all power and water companies now.

Len White, Coventry

Investment in power is woeful. The profits are intolerable.

John Abbott, Leeds

It’s about time the many stopped suffering, to line the pockets of the elite few.

Dean Forsyth, Southend

Shame on a government which thrusts even more people into fuel poverty, while its MPs claim heating expenses for their second homes.

Glen Burrows, Bridgwater

Enough is enough. Over 60% of the population didn’t vote for privatisation, so why should we have to be ripped off like this?

Alan Gale, Rochdale

Let’s get this job done.

Bill Smickersgill, Leeds

End this farce. Too long the Big Six have worked together to increase prices.

Ryan Mercer, London

Re-nationalisation is the only rational path to follow. Our power is going to capitalists abroad.

Rose Kay, Berwick-on-Tweed

Time to repair the damage the last Tory government did. I wonder if they are brave enough?

Jon Scott, Stockton

Renationalise the energy utilities please.

Gaby Weiner, Lewes East Sussex

We can but hope.

Mabel Smith, Swindon

I believe in a free market economy. But remove the exceptions to the rule that are the utilities and mass transport systems.

Dave James, Tavistock

I am not against privatisation but am sick of people making so much profit from the public.

Sheila Johnson, Rushden

Gas and electricity were once in public ownership and ran without problems of profit making. They should be returned to public ownership.

Anthony Hook, Chesterfield

I have photo-voltaics and have done a lot to make my home energy efficient. It would be good if the government allowed us to do the same with national energy provision.

Polly Moyer, Bristol

Price rises due to increased commodity costs are rapidly passed on in full by the Big Six to consumers. Cost reductions are not. They are exploiting the consumer.

Jeffrey Loffill, Knaresborough

Keep power prices down and cut down on dividends to shareholders.

Dorothy Joyce Cox, Poole

We need to maintain a core of public services which create a sense of shared ownership and shared benefit. Water, energy, health, education cannot be open to profiteers.

Sean Millwood, Stevenage
