So who on CUK is voting Labour?

I've never met a contractor who's ever paid the full amount of tax.

You've never met a contractor working via an umbrella company? You should get out more, there's about 800000 of them.

But the Tories are just as hypocritical, if not more so.

Despite all their blathering about the merits of self-employment, and being the party for the self-employed, they haven't and won't abolish IR35.

The party of business has said that they would legislate to prevent a rise in NI, income tax or VAT.

So if the figures don't add up, and they need to get some more revenue somewhere, there's very few things left (like corporation tax) that Osborne could play with. He's happy to rule out a rise in NI, income tax and VAT, but refuses to do the same for corporation tax.

That's not very business friendly.

I've said on other threads, the 'party of business' have done the square root of f**k all for small business in this parliament.

You're missing the point completely. Flexible workers shouldn't be voting Labour regardless of Umbrella/Ltd. Labour doesn't like you, they don't want flexible working, they want to go back to giant companies, Unions, public ownership.

Milliband is more retro than a Space Hopper & a Chopper bike.

You're missing the point completely. Voting on principles that you believe in doesn't make you a hypocrite.

Small businesses just want to be left alone. One of the best thing govt could do is to slash business rates in poor areas.

very good.

Amazingly enough, these bloody Marxists/communists at the SNP did that eight or nine years ago. time for the UK to catch up ?

And not just in poor areas, in all areas of this region of North Britain.
