Who is the voice of British Business?

We know we are not alone in having deep concerns about the current political situation and in particular what is going to happen regarding Brexit. Let's face it, it's a complete shambles.
There is now a weakness in the Government and quite frankly any Brexit plans could be derailed by any number of political groups including; the SNP, the DUP and even the Chancellor, Phillip Hammond, who is pushing for a jobs-focused Brexit, at odds with the immigration-centred approach adopted by Mrs. May.
In the recent General Election, there was little mention of entrepreneurs in any manifesto, yet every political party accepts that we are the engine room of UK PLC.
And we are not sure that the modern entrepreneur feels that there is a 'voice' for them. So, we've taken it upon ourselves to ask the Great British Entrepreneur community to help us create an Entrepreneurs Manifesto.
This letter will be signed by the good and the great, the large and the small and we'd like as many people as possible to sign the letter and also over the coming months to use our website and social media community as platforms for entrepreneurs to have their say.
To kick start this initiative, we’d like you to take part in a very short survey. It should take you no more than 3 minutes to complete. As a thank you for your participation, we’ll be picking a participant at random to receive 2 complimentary tickets to a regional NatWest Great British Entrepreneur Awards gala final. These are taking place in Cardiff, London, Birmingham, Manchester & Edinburgh throughout November.
