but I'm sure it's the same as Corbynomics in the UK :T

    What is Cameron doing to encourage new businesses, particularly the manufacturing industry?
    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.

    No. But I never specified any kind of manufacturing.

    But what is Cameron doing about it new businesses (which you did mention) or old businesses for that matter? Are new businesses any more worthy that old businesses?

    Bit of a non-sequitur there old boy.

    The most obvious thing Mr Cameron is doing to help business is cutting corporation tax although strictly speaking it's Mr Osbourne that does that.

    Cameron is helping new businesses by not introducing 37 new lots of regulations and taxes.

    Governments aren't very good at doing much about business (e.g. they often think manufacturing is somehow better than other businesses) : much better they simply reduce regulation and allow the people to create / expand businesses.

    Probably not, but it's this government policy to generate a sweatshop economy, we are working more for less as shown in the low productivity figures.

    a succession of British governments had been elected promising to reverse the United Kingdom's relative industrial decline. Following their failure to re-balance the economy in favour of manufacturing, each duly resorted to reforms of the credit supply and fiscal stimulus measures to stimulate the domestic housing market, which then resulted in a sequence of unsustainable consumer, debt and propertyled economic booms, interrupted by periodic financial crises, economic recessions and bursts of fiscal austerity.
