Abstract

A Populus poll for The Times suggests that the public actually backs the nationalisation of Northern Rock. This flies in the face of what the media and the Conservative opposition were telling us. Chancellor Alastair Darling’s critics told us that the very word ‘nationalisation’ would make the public think of British Leyland and British Rail, the Four Day Week and high taxes. Instead it seems that the voters believe it was a tough but ultimately sensible decision.
