As ideias do Labour para a reforma do Estado

How John McDonnell plans to transform the state from within, por George Eaton (New Statesman):

To this end, McDonnell promised to abolish the House of Lords and replace it with an elected senate, revive local government, promote collective land ownership, establish democratically-run public utilities and ensure greater accountability of MPs (he is also, notably, a supporter of proportional representation). (...)

Labour has pledged to return the UK’s railways, energy, water and the Royal Mail to public ownership. But McDonnell vowed to avoid the top-down nationalisations of the Attlee era: “Bringing the privatised utilities back into public ownership but on the basis of them being democratically managed by workers, consumers and community representatives themselves.”
