But the Labour party aren't using this definition. They are talking about all employees, regardless of education, training or position. Forgive me if I am misreading your post, but it appear you're saying that a minority elites that are employed by a company already receive shares, so this is already happening. Under this plan, all employees receive a stake in the company, which is more in line with what the original article was suggesting.

> But the Labour party aren't using this definition. ...err well they aren't using the word at all so it's a bit odd to say it's not the definition they're using. > Forgive me if I am misreading your post My point was that it wasn't some new radical idea - many people (not really elites - random programmers at tech companies, or marketers at agencies, or whatever aren't 'elites' by any stretch) are already getting this and it works fine without government intervention. I would guess that at least 10% of Google, for example, is already owned by the employees? I may be wrong.
