Article Abstract:
The Liberal Democrat party is in favour of boosting the UK's economy as a whole, and is therefore the party offering the best prospects for the construction industry, according to Adrian Fudge, party member and owner of contracting company Tess Construction. The Liberal Democrats' views are similar to those of the Labour party on issues such as social housing, but they are less extreme, and the party supports the idea of compulsory competitive tendering (CCT) without the compulsory clause. The impact of Conservative policies in Bournemouth, UK, is also discussed.
