The UK prime minister in waiting, David Cameron has turned to easyJet’s low-frills model as a way to run the public sector in recessionary times. Cameron believes that no-frills politics is the way forward, having looked at the Sir Stelios’s success in starting up a tightly-run business that is used by everyone from the royalty to stag and hen parties..
Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, the easyJet founder, told The Times: “Political parties are now proposing different ways of running local councils – one is easyCouncil and the other is John Lewis. I am not going to say I know which one is right but I think the public know exactly what easyCouncil means – a standard level of service at a low price with additional services that cost more. Nothing’s hidden...”
He adds: “It’s about choice as much as price. It’s all about giving power to people to pay for what they value. Take ‘speedy boarding’. I have flown for 14 years a couple of times a week on easyJet. If you buy ‘speedy boarding’ you get on the plane among the first people. Others like to use it to sit at the front because that’s where first class usually is, but I prefer the back of the plane as it feels more spacious...”
But does this mean the Tory party are going to swap their traditional blue for the orange and white hoarding of the easy group?..
