There is no one market for contractors and neither does any of the above have any clear link to or impact on the 'contractor market' (however one might choose to define that). Imho, I wouldn't characterise the job market as being 'in the doldrums' at present.
The notion that most companies are looking at the UK election, French election, Trump, the S&P, the FTSE, Andrew Bailey's tea leaves, who wins the Euros, etc. to decide what to do is just not the case. There will be some industries that will be impacted more than others depending on the nature of govt expenditure but in most mature western democracies, irrespective of all the noise, the movements in policies that impact the economy are marginal and usually creates winners as well as losers.
