Nothing in his manifesto is beneficial for business unless you are a start up.

Maybe he'd be good for us on a global scale but I highly doubt it.

He'd be good for the workers no doubt. But then bad for business prospects long term, thereby being bad for workers.

Brexit was supposedly an "insular vote". That is exactly what a vote for Corbyn is. In regard to business anyway.

But!. If he would fight for free trade with the EU then maybe that'd offset the huge tax rises elsewhere.

May will not be getting my vote by the way.
OK, so I have worked for the same company for 7 years. During that time, they have posted increased profits, but are paying less in tax than they were 7 years ago. Also, during that time, we have had just one pay rise (2014) and that was of 1.5%. The company has reduced it's workforce by 5% in that time too. The top guy has seen his wage rise IN REAL TERMS (i.e. after inflation) by 40%.

Maybe, after 7 years, my employer should start spreading the profits they are making to the people who are generating those profits.

Theresa May will make sure my company pays less taxes for 5 years, it's not going to help my family much though - especially if she raises VAT.
