"We get it. I've been in business, I've run my own businesses, as many of my colleagues have, as thousands of our members have. Some on the left will tell you 'the economy is failing because capitalism is failing'. No. We're not living in capitalism, we're living in an age of global corporatism. We're living in an age where the big businesses virtually control and own the political arena."
"My message today is very, very simple: The Conservatives betrayed you on small business, Labour doesn't have any comprehension of actually what you do as small business, we do. Today, as we launch Small Business for Reform, we are looking for tens of thousands of businesses up and down this country to join this organisation."
"Capitalism is what these people do. Free enterprise is what these people do. These people take risks. They risk their own money. They go to the bank and borrow money. They have no idea at the start whether their business concept will work or not, and many of them will have failures along the way, but that's what free market enterprise is about. It's about risk. It's about reward."
Nigel Farage launched Small Business for Reform, warning that government favors large corporations and pledging to cut red tape and regulation for small firms. He addressed 300 small and medium-sized business owners, saying his own business experience gives him understanding of their challenges and that small owners live in fear of inspections. He accused big businesses of dominating the political arena, argued Conservatives betrayed small business and said Labour lacks comprehension of their needs. He called for tens of thousands of businesses to join the organisation and defended capitalism and free enterprise as risk and reward.
