It used to be that The Conservative Party was the party of the business man, the conventional thinking being the Tories were the ones to protect and encourage entrepreneurs. However even this virtue turns out to be an illusion.
After almost year in Government all the Tories have achieved is to inflict a vicious programme of ideologically inspired cuts in order to benefit their fat cat cronies in the financial capitols of the world.
Radio 4’s PM programme on Monday last week carried a survey they conducted in Manchester of small business attitudes to the current Government and it must have been depressing hearing for the Tories.
When asked how they would rate The Governments attitude towards business so far 38% said it was unhelpful and only 10.5% said it was helpful.
The respondents were also clear in their attitudes to the public spending cuts; they are too fast and too deep. 50% of the respondents said that they expected their turnover to decrease as a result of the cuts and a majority felt that there had been job losses due to the cuts.
Unlike the Tories, Plaid Cymru takes job creation and the encouragement of private enterprise seriously.
