Conservatives best understand quality

Quality professionals have voted the Conservatives as the political party with the greatest appreciation of quality principles in the run up to the UK’s general election closely followed by the Liberal Democrats.
A third of quality professionals agreed that the Tory party had the policies that most reflected an understanding of quality in a OW Express poll following the release of the main party manifestos.
The Liberal Democrats, seeming to
benefit from Nick Clegg’s performance
in the first televised leadership debate.
were backed by 27% of those who
responded, leaving the Labour party
trailing in third place with just 16.4% quality professionals supporting them, despite promises to “spread excellence” in their manifesto.
One respondent backing the Conservative party which has pledged to cut “wasteful spending” by £6bn. said, “None of the other parties have a clue about lean management” At the same time. however, a Liberal Democrat supporter argued, “The Tories criticism of targets indicates that they do not understand the basic quality principle of plan-do-check-act.”
More worrying was the number of respondents that believed none of the parties truly understood quality. One said, “Political parties espouse quality principles but that is not reflected by an understanding of proper implementation. Most instances are knee jerk reactions to failure, never from promotion of best practice or excellence.”
Another said, “One important are that the Conservatives do seem to understand is removing the Whitehall staff paid huge salaries to tell the public sector what to do. Getting rid of these people will save the country millions of pounds in salaries and result in bigger savings when public sector managers no longer have to comply with bad ideas.”
