Small business poll shows lead for the Conservatives


Posted: Tue 28th Apr 2015
Hot on the heels of David Cameron’s launch of the Conservative Small Business Manifesto, an Enterprise Nation poll shows Conservatives leading the small business vote, with 43% of businesses saying they plan to vote tory on polling day, compared with 16% for Labour who come in a distant second in the showings.
Over 250 small businesses completing the Enterprise Nation political poll have shown a strong lead for the Conservatives.
David Cameron launched the Conservatives Small Business Manifesto at a packed event at the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales on Monday, showing a commitment to the advisers behind Britain’s small business sector and entrepreneurial revolution. The Manifesto refers to commitments to treble the number of StartUp Loans, reviews of benefits for the self-employed and business rates, a commitment to reducing corporate tax and stamping out late payment.

The poll remains open for your votes. It will remain open until 7th May. Details to follow on Enterprise Nation coverage of the election with live blogging and small business reactions through the night.
