Has anyone put a cooperative model on the table?

[Visionary Man]

Hi all,

Has anyone actually put forward the idea of moving to a cooperative business model in the privitisation negotiations? I've not seen anything that suggested to me it was ever on the table. If not why not?

Just interested in everyone's thoughts. What sort of support do people think would they give to such a scheme?

Best regards,

Geoff

Im presuming the idea of a cooperative business model isnt on the table because THEY dont want it on the table ...and even if it had half a chance then im sure the soothsayers would have been driving a double decker round London giving it large by now.

Its not on the table because privatisation and the what type it is a Political decision made by the ConDems.

Mind you some interesting discussion on RMC about it previously. http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... 42&t=47232" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; A Workers Co-Operative....A real future for us all?
