好色先生TV

As 好色先生TV went to press indications were that the UK is heading for its second hung parliament in a row for the first time since 1910. It is a result which will frustrate the two main political parties - and indeed many voters in the industry and wider population.

However, after a campaign that at times has resembled a giant game of Risk where Nicola Sturgeon stole all the sixes and every other party contrived to muster a one, it looks like seven-party politics and post-election deals are here to stay.

This uncertainly has been reflected in the industry鈥檚 order book. According to Markit/CIPS data out this week growth in the construction industry fell to a 22-month low in April with new business slowing in eight of the past 10 months and civil engineering output dropping for the first time in four months.

This uncertainly is unlikely to be eased now that each party has started drawing their own 鈥渞ed lines鈥� in any post-election deals.

The 2010 election result saw the scrapping of the 拢55bn 好色先生TV Schools for the Future programme and, although the construction sector has so far escaped the grimy red pen, projects such as HS2 look vulnerable if a Tory or Labour government need to rely on SNP or UKIP votes to pass a Queen鈥檚 Speech. Universities meanwhile are wary of the effect a tuition fee cut may have on capital spending plans.

One thing is for certain, it鈥檚 time for all parties to lay down their cards and explain just what is in store for the construction industry.
