Several Labour MPs have reportedly criticised the move, among them Austin Mitchell. According to the Daily Mail he has called it "barmy" and accused Mr Miliband of "weakness".
PCS union leader Mark Serwotka said Mr Balls' comments were "hugely disappointing", while the general secretary of the RMT rail union said he was signing "Labour's electoral suicide note".

A YouGov poll of 1,761 adults for the Sunday Times has suggested that more Labour voters think Mr Miliband is performing badly as leader than performing well - giving him an overall rating of -3 points. By contrast, David Cameron has a rating among Conservative voters of 91.
Education Secretary Michael Gove said it was "ludicrous" to suggest the Tories were following Labour's lead on issues like responsible capitalism.
"David Cameron was way out [in front] on this when Ed Miliband was in the cabinet handing out knighthoods to people like [former Royal Bank of Scotland boss] Fred Goodwin," he told BBC1's Sunday Politics.
The deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats, Simon Hughes, said it was time that Labour came to its senses, but added: "They can't have it both ways. They can't be hugely critical of the government one day and then say they'd have the same policy the next."
