Business Leaders say Miliband is holding back recovery

Anyone considering voting Labour - and also, anyone who uses expressions like "LibLabCon" or otherwise expresses the belief that there is no difference between the three main parties - should have a hard think about the concerns expressed by senior business leaders on the front page and page two of The Times newpaper today.

Chairmen, Chief executives and other senior managers in FTSE100 companies expressed in so many words their concern that Ed Miliband's policies might harm the recovery or even, quote, "Send the economy back into decline."

A senior executive in a major company who had been a Labour party member for two decades resigned from the party last week citing Miliband's "intellectual Marxism."

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, one major company chairman said that "Ed Miliband doesn't give a toss about business. He will say anything to get elected ... it's economic vandalism."

This reflects the general mood of the businessmen quoted in the acticle who "do not accept Mr Miliband's argument that that he is attempting to create greater competition in dysfunctional markets, and say that the moves are cheap populist hits likely to deter long-term investment from Britain and drive up costs for consumers."
