But private businesses drive efficiency and pull in investment. Government sectors do not have the same drive as they can just throw money at it. The same with the NHS, they keeping saying they need £X billion more a year, however if it was efficient as it could be, it wouldnt need shoring up with further billions.
Not to turn this into a political rant, but I wouldn't hate Labour so much if it wasn't for Corbyn! Like with all Labour policies, they're good in theory, but once you start digging into the finances it all falls apart!
It's funny how out of all my 'friends', the ones who aren't staunch Labour supporters are the ones who studied business or accounting!
To be honest, if the NHS was fully privatised it would probably be a heck of a lot better than it is now, but then we'd be in a situation like the USA! I'd take waiting a few hours in A&E, or a few days to see a GP over having to pay their extortionate rates! Plus, any time anyone brings up the Conservatives privatising the NHS, all I say back to them is look up PFI hospitals like Bishop Auckland!
Plus, I'm fairy certain 'taking public ownership of bus networks' is full nationalisation!
