I was interested to read Graham's assessment of Ed Miliband. The politican, and the man.

I'd just like to see the public enthused as much as Graham is about him, but I honestly don't think they are...yet.

I don't think it's absolutely necessary for a great leader to be particularly charismatic, or even a rabble rousing speech maker, but there has got to be some connection with the people they represent.

They have to inspire the public that their leadership will make for a better society.

I detest all the spin, and the superfical Americanisation of politics, style over substance, but Miliband really needs to up his game, and make people see in him what Graham obviously does.

I might not always agree with our M.P., but I do respect and trust his judgement.

I yearn to be enthusiastic about a leader, a party, and politicans again.

I live in hope.
