Nationalise energy companies

Closed 2,343 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should take all energy companies back into public ownership to help address the living crisis, as many working people cannot afford it.
If this carries on there will be an uproar. The Government cannot possibly believe the public are going to keep accepting the price hikes. If nothing is done soon I worry there will be civil unrest and increased crime. This should ease the burdens and pressures families already face. We should not be living just to work, we should be working to live.
