Nationalisation of energy generation

This of course is exactly the reason why JC and his fellow adventurers were so keen on dumping the EU.
One of the primary features of the development of the European Union was the prevention of the state depriving private people of property without compensation.
One of the main featuresof the liberation of the former Eastern bloc from communist rule was the compensation of former owners.
With our parliament paramount , it can deprive any property owner of their assets by compulsory purchase, with little or no financial or other redress.
We welcome JC at our peril.

Although I am a rooftop generator, most of the rooftop panels you see in 4kw blocks are I guess , owned by large investors renting rooffs giving free electricity to the occupier. They often generate little benefit to home owner but the investor is gaining big fit payments from a multitude of these systems.
Of course many of these investors will be your and mine pension funds but that will not stop them being nationalised if the labour government decide to grab them.

Like it or not the 5 years of coalition from 2010 were some of the most stable times of recent government.

A move to PR(STV) would help re-create that stability and control the excesses of both far right and far left.

How on earth Cameron was able to persuade Clegg that the referendum on AV was the right way to go is a mystery since AV can be almost as devisive as FPTP where the party in power amends boundaries to it's own advantage.

Its not true that parties in power can manipulate boundaries. This is entirely controlled by the boundary commission. However it is up to the party in power to implement these changes or not.
Currently we are I believe a long way from changing boundaries to one which would favour the conservatives grossly, only vested interests and the fact that one of the purposes of the last review, was to reduce MP numbers to 600 has meant it has as yet not been implemented.
