More than two-thirds of Conservative voters say that the government should temporarily renationalise energy companies if they cannot offer lower bills, according to polling.
The poll, released by the campaigning organisation 38 Degrees, also shows overwhelming support for Labour’s policy to freeze the price cap this year, keeping it at its current rate of £1,971. The Opinium poll found 86% of the public and 85% of current Conservative voters back keeping the price cap.
