  • The motion called for the deletion of a previous commitment that:

    The five largest energy supply companies will be nationalised.
    

    Instead, it called for the insertion of:

    As natural monopolies with, at present, high profit margins, electricity national transmission and regional distribution will be brought into public ownership.
    

    And it wanted to insert a position that “electricity generation and storage” are not natural monopolies and should therefore:

    have diversity of ownership including private, public, municipal and community schemes

    People have become so angry at the state of things that they cling onto people who at least seem to get angry on their behalf. The snideness and argumentativeness and fuck you attitude towards ones political enemies is just too juicy a thing to not enjoy, that accuracy and truth become a sideshow at best. It’s an essential ingredient of political discourse being debased into theatre and obfuscation.
