Ed Miliband & labour's relationship with the Unions (business, party)

[geoff956]

Is Ed Miliband on the right path in his attempt to reform the relationship between the Labour Party & the Unions? I think he is, although it appears largely academic whether a member needs to opt in or out as a union member.
Isn't there a rather better case for reforming the relationship between the Tories & big business?

I don't think milliband is sincere , I think hes being opportunistic , he sees which way the wind is blowing , he also realises that camerons torys are no different in policy to how blairs labour was , in essence , the centre is too crowded so he sees more room for growth from courting the left
