Manifesto quick poll results

06 May 2015

As the political parties criss cross the country in a final bid to win votes before the big day, now seems as good a time as ever to consider the outcome of our recent polls. One thing is certain in that whoever succeeds in leading the next government, we in the Payroll Industry will be kept busy as they look to deliver on promises made within their party manifestos.

Over the past 3 weeks we have run some quick polls from areas within the 3 main parties’ manifestos.

You may have seen, and indeed responded, to our pre-election quick polls. We picked an item from the 3 main parties’ manifestoes, although only 1 or maybe 2 will be relevant depending on the outcome of the election. The results are below and the original news items can be viewed through the question links.
