Its just a Tory myth that the state is useless at providing key services. Our water and energy are as good as can be, cost very little each month and are state run. Furthermore, the monarchy was rid off a long time ago. In order to progress you have to discard a justification for inequality such as monarchy and realise that we all have a basic right to water and energy. In the Uk all these things are about fat cats and shareholders. They deserve no say in essentials. There is no justification for it and you are not getting a better service. Its only by comparing systems that you see the lies peddled via the UK media. No council housing? Just filling in fat cat profits too. It is feudalism.
