The Tory party has lined itself up as the party of big business. We always knew that of course, its just that with its plans for corporation tax, its failure to lift the minimum wage to levels that workers can live on and its comforts for tax-evaders, David Cameron has made his allegiance to the City that funds his party crystal clear. And Labour is going to repeat cost of living like a mantra. But its clear that it has no plans to tackle the critical structural issue that means we have an economy of increasingly low wages and insecure employment; its not going to encourage the small businesses and co-operatives that are being squashed under the oppressive weight of market-abusing multinationals that could provide the varied, decent employment opportunities that we need. Labour has laid out its slate: it is going to try to set the struggling against the poorest – to further stigmatise and penalise the millions of households that are going under in this dysfunctional economy. Its going for the squeezed middle of swing voters in seats in the south of England, not telling them that their problems come from our still out-of-control finance sector, our tax-avoiding, high-profit multinationals. Labours blaming the people hardest hit by our economy.
