| Message | We aren't demanding an end to public electricity companies we simply wish to open the market. More competition will lower prices and force new services. |

| Message | Actually, you are demanding the end of public electricity companies, or at the energy providers. Making the infrastructure reliant of the market is foolhardy and can hold, not just the people, but the Country as a whole to ransom. Whilst we support the allowance of limited private comptition in most markets, we will not accept selling off vital infrastructure. |
