Browsing some speeches over the weekend, I discovered this remarkable similarity.
In his new year’s speech, David Cameron announced his economic philosophy, saying we need
“an enterprise economy. We need to create opportunity through green growth and new skills. We need change right across the board: tax, regulation, banking, infrastructure.
And that’s exactly what we’re planning – from a cut in the main rate of corporation tax, to a new high-speed rail network, to the creation of 100,000 apprenticeships.
We will send out the loudest signal that this country is back open for business and ready for investment.
Meanwhile, Gordon Brown set out his growth plans:
“Our plan for prosperity is driven forward most of all by a belief that the country should do the most it can to support enterprise as the engine of economic growth.
…we are cutting the rate of corporation tax… we urgently need new and higher standards of skill… we will be creating an additional 35,000 advanced apprenticeships
…My message to people is that Britain is open for business. We are going for growth.
Who to vote for? So difficult…
