Firstly, unless you believe that the closure of post offices is being carried out simply to spite the rural electorate (like you suggested with the miners and tories) then it is not the same thing as you originally suggested at all.

As with the pits, there would appear to be a valid economic argument for the action. Whether you agree (or care) about the social impact is a different matter.

I wish you would get to the point sometimes though. Do you really believ that the political choices are foisted upon us (by "apeing" the US) or that they reflect the mood of the electorate? Frankly I feel that there is very very little desire for far left policies in thsi country and that is simply the real reason why there is little electoral representation. You pretty well acknowledge that anyway!

As for nationlisation. All i said was that i have mixed feelings aboutr Rail and water. but they still receive goverment investment anyway...
