Poles will vote on whether they support the privatisation of state companies, Poland's ruling party leader said on Friday, as he announced the first question in a number of referendums likely to be held on the same day as parliamentary elections.

    They should look into how well that went for the UK when they did it

      Many of us here in the UK are currently fighting for the reverse.

      Given a referendum on it now, I dare say renationalisation would be the outcome by quite a margin.

    Poland, do me a favor and see how that’s utterly fucked everyone around you, and just say no.

    We (Germany) did that. Fucking great experience. We have both the most expensive and the worst mobile and landline services in the EU.

    Did i mention that our privatised railways sucks?

      The only reason you get that title, on either count, is that we decided to brexit.

    ‘Privitazation’, so that his friends and other (Russian?) oligarchs can buy them. Great plan. What could possibly go wrong?

      Yeah, just like how the Russians are currently privatizing everything they get their hands on in Ukraine. Oh wait.

      Privatization is encouraged by all the neoliberal governments, not just Russia, and they all want to dismantle any remaining vestiges of public ownership over the economy.
