ONLY, if you will, I want help from the lecturer before I do my homework.
For example, should they have come to an amicable agreement and the dominant brother put himself forward?
Or should they both have stood down rather than cause a family rift?
Without proper guidance from one such as you, how could we guess?
Can't see it makes any difference to the man in the street. He will no doubt put his name forward in about 4 years time
Makes no difference to me If he wants to sit at the back.
Think that decision was the worst kept secret ever, if that is what he thought of front line politics why did he want the top job in the first place, for what its worth I actually think he would have been a better bet for Labour in the long run, but who am I to rain on their parade
If both brothers had been in the Shadow Cabinet every word spoken by them , every gesture they made , every word written etc. would have been scrutinised by the Press for signs of splits , family quarrels , lack of brotherly love etc.
It would have been a diversion from what the Labour Party will try to achieve , and boring nonsense for the electorate .

Young Ed will always be looking over his shoulder into the dark shadows because he knows in there waits BIG BROTHER. If darkness should fall on his leadership, he knows BIG BROTHER will be able to come out of the shadows! Will our Ed ever sleep easy?
And just remember, whatever happens to the Labour party over the next 4 years-it won't be BIG BROTHERS fault. He could become the parties saviour when all is lost. No it wasn't sour grapes( or brotherly love ) -it was a wise POLITICAL move!
A reasonable question - but what is your opinion? A discussion is only valid if all parties to that discussion state their personal view on the subject of the discussion!
I just think it is sour grapes. He could have put his ideas forward stronger in shadow cabinet, but it's his choice. I don't think it was the right one though.
Is Less happy now i've voiced my opinion???
So much easier for the rest of us now we have your wise base to work from than, Discuss, isn't it?
i think he was right ... the media will be all over them .. saying what would big brother have done ... trying to make splits where there wasnt .. and if there was making a big thing about it ... so i think he was right .. politics dont last forever - being leader of the labour party wont .. familys do .. well supposedly anyway ...
I gathered tonight that he will become a back bancher rather than serve in the Shadow Cabinet - toys, throw, cot???????
Of course he is now waiting in the wings for things to go wrong for Red Ed and then he can step in and save the Party by standing for socialist principles.
