Get your facts right people. Lib Dems have not advocated privatisation of Post Office. Under the plan, a "shared ownership model" for Royal Mail will be established with the Government and a Royal Mail staff trust maintaining a 51 per cent majority share, while the remaining shares will be sold directly to staff, investors and offered for general sale. Given that Labour has opened up the mail delivery market and is demanding that Royal Mail competes with private companies, it will have to restructure itself any way. And don't forget that thousands of sub post offices have been shut under Labour's tutelage. Given that, and the wholesale sell-offs of public services by both labour and conservatives raising money to fund their mickey mouse economics, it's a bit rich to criticise Lib Dems for following similar models. Personally, I despise all the selloffs by whomever does it. But the guilty parties todate have not been Lib Dems.
