Le dirigeant d’extrême droite a multiplié les privatisations depuis 2023. Les effets de cette politique sur la qualité de service dans l’eau ou les transports sont critiqués, mais il est donné favori à sa propre succession.

The way to think about the SpaceX IPO is that it's like the 1990's Russian privatisations, but in reverse.

Thatcher's 'achievements' include the destruction of industry, mass unemployment, poll tax, rip-off privatisations and the end of social housing, employment rights, adequate funding for the NHS, social care and schools. Nothing to celebrate in her legacy.

Energy, another Thatcher disaster. Any of her privatisations not still causing chaos?

My campaign team is preparing a YouTube video in which I unconvincingly disavow the last 20 years of schools policy and my previous support for privatisations as we speak.
Also, a big name, a local resident, knows the Labour rules inside out - c'mon it's your moment

Poland and Czechia took a slow road into capitalism, with gradual privatisations over a decade. In Romania former communist party goons just stole everything they could. Hungary is really the only one that did the ruthless quick privatisations. Most was not bought by Americans, but by Germans.

Scotland - look at what you COULD have won!
Our oil revenues went on tax cuts for the rich, privatisations and illegal wars.
But it's not too late...

Of course, Zack was a LibDem as they signed off on huge welfare cuts and privatisations.
Green Party source responds:
"The problem is we just don't know which Andy Burnham is going to turn up? The Blairite politician who went along with years of privatisation and welfare cuts, or the one who publicly supported PR and changes to the failed economic model? We just don't know."

If you think more Thatcherism is the way to protect workers rights I suggest cracking a book Keir.
And if you think cuts and privatisations is the way to grow the economy you're in for a shock.

There was a time the political class used to talk about freedom and individual choice all the time. But now the nation's wealth has been raided by privatisations these ideas are no longer useful to them, so we're back to repression and crackdowns.

Today marks 100 years since the birth of Margaret Thatcher.
Among her legacies: the Right to Buy scheme — one of the most damaging privatisations in modern history that has fuelled today’s housing crisis.

It might have taken 25 years, but finally the debt burden of Labour's PFI privatisations are gone for Falkirk Council, at least. Let's not let Labour back into Government next year, or we risk them all starting again.

I mean, off the top of my head, parties that wouldn't repeal the Thatcher union laws, wouldn't reverse most Thatcher era privatisations, wouldn't reverse changes in the housing sector, finance sector, wouldn't end mass public sector outsourcing, all seem fairly Thatcherite in significant ways?
An interesting thread - but I am genuinely puzzled as to what possible definition of "Thatcherite" would make this make sense?
Four of these five parties are Thatcherite. The next General Election has to boil down to a contest between those four parties and the Greens. In other words, the Thatcherite bloc is divided and confused: there has never been a better time.

The Tories, dissatisfied at the lack of results of their 800th round of deregulations, privatisations and tax cuts, privatise the army and security services, allowing the IRA to get lucky once.
