The corporate lobbyists who pull the strings at Tory Party conference
Theresa May, in her Bank of England speech in defence of capitalism, said that “an open market place, in which everyone is free to participate” was key to the “open, innovative, free market economy.”
At the Tory conference, however, there is a bit of a closed market of corporations bidding for the attention of delegates inside the “security zone.”
It is evident that those with the fattest wallets get to crowd out the others.
