Would Miliband be a ‘catastrophe’?

The Daily Mail editorial:

Launching his party's manifesto last week, Ed Miliband extolled the virtues of British companies in fulsome terms, ‘from the multinational to the family firm'.

He promised a future Labour would help them in ‘creating wealth, making profits, and providing jobs', and asked the business community to join him in a partnership ‘to build a better future together'.

Yesterday the business community gave its answer. In a survey of FTSE 100 company chairmen, 70 per cent said a Miliband government would be a ‘catastrophe' for the and 90 per cent believe he'd make a worse prime than David Cameron.

It is no surprise that the Daily Mail is against Miliband, and no surprise that most FTSE Chairs prefer Cameron to Miliband. What find interesting is that 70% were willing to agree with the term “catastrophe” for a Miliband Government.

Miliband is no third wayer. His policies are closer to Michael Foot's. But he may still get to be PM, with the support of the SNP.
