Hmm. I wonder how, say, Edinburgh would fare over three years if they instituted a New Deal equivalent scheme where anyone who could prove they were working on a startup would a) get paid a bit more than the dole, b) not have to do the "looking for work" crap, and c) not be penalised for failure?
(Oh, and let's have a few useful compulsory classes in there on How To Do It Better).
Sure, lots of the startups wouldn't be serious, would fail, or would suck badly. But a 1% success rate over 3 years would look pretty remarkable...
