Nationalise the Water Industry
I want the government to buy the assets of private water companies and bring them under public ownership.
The price of water (a basic human right that should not be capitalised on) has massively increased. Many people are publishing water bills and showing increases of over 300%. At the same time shareholders are receiving some of the largest payouts in history. Despite the price rises little has been invested in Infrastructure, with sewage being regularly poured into rivers to the point that 100% of rivers have been tested and shown to have harmful chemicals within them as a result.
