Ed Miliband - Page 2

garinda · 17-09-2011, 17:22

Like all the candidates who stood for the leadership of the Labour party, Ed Miliband is too closely associated to the whole Blair/Brown era, with which the public became thoroughly sickened with.

It was time for a new leader, and a new direction.

As Leader of the Opposition he's been highly ineffective. Even though, as other have said, the coalition government have provided enough ammunition for him to have ripped them to shreds.

If he ever became Prime Minister he'd be very much the John Major kind.

The clone after the storm.

He isn't even Marmite.

Few outside of his party will have any great respect for him as Leader of the Opposition. Even fewer of the general public will see him as a future Prime Minister.

Labour missed a trick.

Ideal time to have had a new broom to sweep with.

Instead of replacing one wet, old mop for a near identical one.

As you might have gathered, I don't find him particularly inspirational myself.

Making it up as he goes along (1.49 mins into the clip). Sort of fits the context as we're talking about politicians.

Got to agree..and the shadow cabinet looks weak.. Miliband is a new young leader but he's nothing special..he will need a strong team behind and Labour just don't have that.
