CONSERVATIVE politicians who disdain government and adore business have been advised they could, instead of running for government, run a business.
As Kemi Badenoch proclaimed that business, not government, will be Britain’s economic saviour voters across the country have wondered why she would then focus all her efforts on getting into government.
Nathan Muir of Hitchin said: “Obviously in Kemi’s case any scenario of being in power is purely theoretical. But still, why?
“If you think business is so great then do business. There’s no barriers. You don’t have to depend on your appeal to the voters of East Arseshire. You can be a total prick and still succeed in business, look at Alan Sugar.
“Like, it makes sense why Labour want to get elected. They’re well into the public sector. Stepping up from the local council to Downing Street’s like Ipswich getting into the Premier League for them.
“But if you think the private sector’s better, love hanging around with City boys and thrill at a text from James Dyson, get a job in the City. Then you can do it all the time.”
Conservative chairman Lord Dominic Johnson said: “Yes, but we’re motivated by an altruistic desire to help people. By which we mean businesses.”
