“ Red ” Ed Miliband and the Unions


Guardian: Reports that Conservative Ministers are placing pressure on the Labour Leader Ed Miliband to come out against the tanker strike, the article notes the following by the Conservatives on Mr Miliband, “ …saying that Unite, the union behind the moves, was Miliband's paymaster. ”. That’s the problem faced by Mr Miliband, he is only Labour Leader due to Union support, also the Labour Party would be broke without money from the Unions. After the negative reaction to the Budget, the granny tax, and donors the Labour Party was starting to get traction in the Polls, if the Unions go on strike it will hurt Labour, and gain support for the Coalition. That’s how fast luck can change in politics folks.
