I used the term we as in the country, because government does things on our behalf.
I think we're left in a mess with rail yes. Until an alternative I like is proposed, I don't support privatisation of the rail network.
As far as energy companies are concerned, prices are rising all over the world, not just in the UK. You have to ask yourself what government can do to help the consumer though, for example with petrol I think government should lower the tax it takes as the price rises, so that the consumer is less hurt by the rises.
Souldnt this be in 'Ask a Tory'?
