Open Letter to the Labour Party Leader, Ed Miliband

So here's the deal: I truly wish I could vote for the Labour party, I wish you had credible policies which I could trust.  But it's like this:

• The financial crisis happened on your watch, and because in a boom time we'd increased the debt, there was nothing to fall back on.  Who can forget the parting letter left by Liam Byrne to his successor in the treasury, "There's no money left"?
• Before the last election you said austerity and cuts were imperative, but you wouldn't tell us what would be cut: just memorably that you wouldn't ring-fence the health service as the tories pledged and that you'd legislate to halve the deficit within one parliament (which even the coalition have not achieved).
• During the whole of this parliament you have opposed every single cut.  Every one.  And complained that the health service is under-funded, in spite of the increases.  And you've said repeatedly that we need to dig our way out of the hole, spend our way out of recession.
• If there were ever any doubt, it's now patently clear that the coalition employed the right policy.  We have a strong recovery and improving employment.  We're approaching an election again and Labour say "We will make cuts, we won't keep spending, honest guv!"

You're like an alc'y who says he's given up the booze, while ducking under the table for a swig of vodka.

The tories are truly the nasty party, but that's not because they are fiscally prudent.  Less nasty than before, it seems - perhaps because they have been moderated by their coalition partners: they have legalised gay marriage, promoted an increase in the minimum wage, reformed the Libel laws, promoted science, ditched Labour's authoritarian concept of ID cards and so far not re-introduced Labour's attempted parting salvo of putting through insane anti-piracy legislation instead of reforming intellectual property law.

But they are indiscriminately anti-Europe and with another term in office there's a good chance we'll be on our way out of the EU.  They're indiscriminately anti-immigration, while not taking any stand against the causes of immigration disquiet (which are multi-culturalism over integration, religious rights over the secular majority).

But how on earth, in good conscience, can can anybody who cares about the economy vote for the Labour Party?  I'm looking for solid answers not sweet nothings, and policies need to be set out in exquisite detail to have any semblance of credibility.
