Is Corbyn the reason you won't vote Labour?

[meridian]

So, the SSE office I walk past hasn't moved, the company location hasn't moved, the FCA reg hasn't moved.

But you are sure SSE has moved.

I am sure that Dim Prawn posted a link to a BBC article that included a quote from an SSE representative that their ownership has moved.

If you dispute that ownership of the assets has moved offshore, I suggest that you take it up with either one of those three.

It's a PLC. Are you saying the shareholders have all, like moved?

You could always vote 'Conserative'.....

The SSE is reported as saying it.

As I said, take it up with either the SSE for saying it, the BBC for reporting it, or DP for posting it.

Does the fact that strategic national infrastructure, a necessary requirement for every home in the U.K., can have it’s ownership so easily transferred offshore not bother you?

This is the problem.

It's so that Labour can't just grab it (in exchange for some worthless debt bonds) and leave investors high and dry. The fact that they feel the need to do this, is the problem...

Why? Are Labour going to win the election with a majority?

If so, then it is the democratically expressed will of the people that strategic assets of the country should be part owned by the people and not private corporations.

If not, then it really doesn’t matter what the excuse is, the CEO of a private company can make any excuse they like about any national government’s policies and move strategic assets offshore.

But if the British public are okay with selling their national assets overseas no matter what the reason is, then go for it....

So the main problem here is that it seems the thrust of your argument is that once this goes overseas then suddenly they would stop supplying power to the Uk - but erm that is their business model and one of the reasons they are looking to move offshore is so that if Labour do get in they cannot force nationalisation and trip shareholders off.

Also it's like only two of the electricity companies who are doing this.

But here is the main question a lot of people miss - wtf do Labour know about running a power company?

Don’t be ridiculous, nobody’s suggesting that power will stop.

My question is that there are certain things within a country - strategic infrastructure - that the entire country is dependent on; are you happy for that infrastructure to be owned by an overseas holding company?

If so, and you are happy for that to happen, does it then matter where the overseas holding company is based? (EU, Switzerland, Panama, China, Iran, etc...)
