Latest figures show Britain’s reduction in manufactured goods is deepening. George Osborne says he is engaged in a “relentless” attempt to find out how to achieve growth.
Throughout the alleged “world recession” the non-EU part of the world has been growing at an average of six per cent.
Every serious politician knows how to end recession.
It was set down in, among other places, the Washington Consensus (1989) which has since guided most of the world to unprecedented growth.
To achieve fast growth you have to end deficit, end subsidy of uneconomic projects (wind farms), have a broad tax base that does not penalise effort, encourage the free market and end restrictions/regulations that prevent the market choosing the most efficient methods. A particular example in Britain is that electricity prices have more than doubled because we are forced to subsidise wind farms when we could have unlimited cheap power from shale gas and nuclear. The correlation between growth in electricity use and the overall economy is as clearly established as anything in economics. Some 93 per cent of the cost of British electricity is political parasitism.
Only one party, Ukip, actually supports such policies.
Fortunately for the others, Ukip is obviously censored by our state-owned broadcasters, and in particular mention of their economic policy is censored so none of their opponents are called upon to deny this works, or if they cannot, say why they still oppose it.
Even Zimbabwe currently has a 9.3 per cent growth rate. It is impossible to believe that the “relentless” search for how we can get above zero growth has been serious.
