Even if you don't think Labour will be able to afford to do 100% of the things they've said they'll try to do, that's surely better than just handing it to the rich and hoping some will trickle down to where it is needed.
That is fair enough, but:

-Increase paternity leave.
-Increase pay on paternity leave.
-Strengthen maternity leave.
-Four new public holidays.
-Every worker has a right to a union. + collective bargaining.
-Stopping employers from employing only from overseas (but they don't come here to take our jobs, so what is the problem?)
-Minimum wage raised to a tenner by 2020.
-Increase main rate of corporation tax to 26%

will mainly not have an affect on big business. Or bringing money in from big business. It will hurt smaller companies.

They preach that they are there for smaller firms to grow and grow then they do this

Labour voters will see money coming away from business and their default response is well that must be good.

This one will be atrocious I believe:

-Every worker has a right to a union. + collective bargaining.
