They supported bailing out the banks, effectively re-nationalising them.
And yet they oppose re-nationalising the utilities or railways.

Another problem is, that in todays economies there are businesses and industries which fall into the category: "Too big to fail." General Motors comes to mind. Unfortunately for them, there are smaller business which, as a group, give more to the overall economy, and employ more people. These fall into another category: "Too small to bail." Business can't take care of itself, particularly big business, as it is run by crooks and idiots.
Until business realizes, that in a consumer economy, it has a vested interest in a well-paid, well-educated, and contented workforce, the western economies are going to stumble from crisis to crisis. And the developing economies? Look at China, if you can see it through the toxic soup they call air.
