Re: Ed Miliband

Seems a bit of a nonentity to me but, to be honest, I doubt there'll ever be a Labour leader who fits in with the views of Accyweb traditional Labour voters. There seems to be a yearning for a proper left wing socialist Labour leader like Michael Foot (the man who couldn't get Labour into power in a thousand years). If just such a leader was elected, it'd be interesting to see just how long it was before the howls of protest emerged on here from traditional Labour voters about the left wing socialist policies that were being implemented - ie, a liberal, inclusive attitude on immigration, an emphasis on rehabilitation rather than punishment for criminals, an embracing of politically correct attitudes (think Harriet Harman) and more. And if you think those aren't left wing Labour attitudes, I suggest you talk to any left wing socialist member of the Labour party. Socialism's about far more than just economic policies!
