I run a private language college. I personally believe that a Conservative government promotes private business better than a Labour one, which favours putting public money into the inefficient State Sector.

Should one of my senior staff/ co-directors choose to donate to the Labour party, vote Labour or express (maybe for other reasons more improtant to him than educational funding) a preference for Labour, should he be fired? I think not.

Essentially you are persecuting someone for acting lawfully on his own convictions. Seems rather 'un-American'.

dis agree with him, argue with him or don't go to his shop - but a witch hunt? Surely your history has taught you something about those by now?
