This what happens when capitalism lets you down, repeatedly.  Nationalisation is back on the agenda.

Here is the actual report, note that is was published by very pro free maket outfit.  The range of topics addressed is impressive and does provide the reader with a snapshot of what the public is thinking.

UNDER- POLITICAL CONSEQUENCES Page 76-77

"This research finds that a clear anti-capitalist sentiment permeates throughout many segments of the population. Majority support for nationalisation of railways, water, gas and electricity is overwhelming. The public tend to reject free market ideas in favour of state regulation. They believe that big business has been given too much free reign for too long and that the economy needs to be reoriented away from a focus on profit. Moreover, anti-capitalist tendency is similarly prevalent across ages—and we find that it is in fact those aged 35 and over who are slightly more anti-free enterprise, not those who are younger. There are important demographic divisions on social issues—on which the public as a whole tends to lean to the right—but we focus here on populist economic attitudes which have allowed the Labour Party (so often characterised as ‘weak’ on the economy, and indeed, rated poorly on the subject in opinion polls) to win more votes than many believed possible. The public appears to be more economically left wing than many commentators realise. In the wake of the EU referendum debate, much focus has been given to the social attitudes of voters. Now, the political class will need to turn its attention to economic attitudes, or face the risk of the ground shifting beneath its feet. And for those who believe that competition, entrepreneurship and free trade are key drivers to make societies more prosperous, it’s time for us to up our game"
