  London: A draft of the election manifesto of Britain's Labour Party was leaked to the media on Thursday. The manifesto, which was yet to be formally launched, contained the Opposition's promises to re-nationalise the country's energy industry, railways and the Royal Mail.
  The document, seen by the BBC, is the most detailed draft with a 20-point plan on workers' rights alone. It was yet to be signed off by most senior party figures, including the shadow cabinet and Labour's national executive committee.
  The final version will work towards winning over voters in the June 8 general election.
  The detailed document has been referred to as "socialist" and filled with "class envy" by many sections of the British media as it proposes nationalisation of the country's railways and the postal service and having at least one state-owned electricity supplier.
  The ruling Conservative party termed the draft as a sign of the chaos that a Labour-led government would unleash on the UK if it were to win the general election.
  Other details of the manifesto include abolishing tuition fees for students at the university, spending an extra 8 billion pounds on social care and not making "false promises" on immigration.
