It depends on the industry and role, many people enjoy contracting for the flexibility and the challenge. Just like some are happy with zero hours contracts, not all people have the same mindset as those working in the public sector.
Where there are specific specialist skills required for a defined period of time, it would be rather silly and underhanded to employ someone for a period of time and then lay them off when the work is complete.
The left are more concerned about taxing an individual due to jealousy than they are about the value that the individual contributes and saves the tax payer.
