As you are no doubt aware, social enterprise has been enjoying a lot of attention from all three political parties during this election campaign so, on the final day of campaigning before the country takes to the polls, I wanted to get some thoughts down about what the current political interest in social enterprise means for the movement and how we can protect ourselves against misuse or misunderstanding.
While it is truly a milestone to have social enterprise in all major party manifestos, we must not forget that no matter what the outcome of the General Election, social enterprise is not and never will be a political construct.
I’ve posted a comment piece on this on the Coalition website and I’d like to invite you all to read it and leave your comments. Along with the rest of the country I am fascinated to see what tomorrow’s result will be, but whatever the outcome it seems clear that this is an exciting and important time for our movement.
