Ed Miliband Leader

[Jordy]

Frankly I'm astonished this hasn't been posted yet, half the forum seemed to support Labour around the election, have you all lost faith in the party since or something?

Anyway Mili-E beat off Mili-D remarkably by just a few votes thanks to unions. If I'm honest it seems like the best man won.

I look forward to seeing Cameron vs Ed M in PMs questions

I haven't really had time to follow this leadership but from the brief speeches I have seen from both the brothers, David came across stronger as a person and looked like a leader. I think quite a lot of people will like Ed as a person though and therefore might vote for him in the election.
Either way, David is most likely going to be a close adviser anyway so meh.

Im not bothered who won tbqh. Iwould have preferred david, just because he looks better, as in, he looks like he could be trusted to run the country right. But im sure that theyd have both inputted into what the other says and does anyway.

I hope there is another general election soon, and you can already see the cracks in the coalition.

I do love this picture.

I certainly wouldn't trust David Miliband, afterall if 'looks' are anything to go by then he (to me and many other comments I have seen on boards) comes across as very arrogant hence why i'm glad he lost, not to mention the fact he himself is a coward - he was prepared to fan the fires and attempted to unseat Gordon Brown (remember Gordon, the PM all the Labourites were defending not so long ago, whom now are supporting the vultures such as the likes of Miliband who circled around Brown). It is a funny old world is it not?

But not that any of this really matters though, because the Labour Party is virtually the same as the Conservative Party and vice-versa, including the Liberal Democrats. The City of London & financial matters (our most important asset as a country) is now beginning to slip out of our control to the European Union just as enviroment, energy, fisheries, agriculture, employment, justice + many more have all done so.

Here is a short video with the Milibands (both of them) refusing to give real answers, although credit to Ed Miliband who comes across as much less arrogant and more willing to at least give people some of his time, even though it is nonsense that he is spouting. I also recall (from memory, correct me if i'm wrong) that Ed Miliband was pretty much clean on the issue of expenses whereas his brother David was not - so credit also is needed there. Then again, i'd expect that as normal behaviour from our politicians.

Although what I still don't understand is, why would anybody vote Labour after they've bankrupted the country yet again?

Can't say I've shown any interest. As far as I understood the whole thing, they've been trying to make it look like an important thing when in reality no-one gives a damn, because politics is so rubbish at the moment that no-one really has the energy nor care. Good for him, but I honestly doubt there would have been much difference if someone else won.

Well, I'm a little bit unsure on this one myself so I haven't really expressed any interest. I am pretty shocked at the fact Ed had won really. At the end of the day, I didn't really want any of the candidates get the position and I do feel that Harriet Harman should have ran for it.

However, as far as I am concerned Ed Miliband in my own opinion doesn't have enough experience in a Senior Party role. I believe that he will have one hell of a job trying to gain victory for Labour in the 2015 elections. However he does have 5 years to do things meaning things could change....

Mili-E beat off Mili-D

thats disgusting -rep
i saw the speech ed made and to be honest he just looks vacant, i dont trust him from even looking at him. at least david looks engaged.

[Alkaz]

Ed Milliband reminds me of Gordon Brown so much and in so many ways lol. I just assumed that David Milliband would have got it as he looks more the part and seemed to look as though he knew what he was doing but Ed Milliband to me looks like a deer caught in the headlights.

[Nalfar]

don't care.

he was mp for our area and he did bugger all. labour can GO TO HELL

[Bun]

hey be nice, talking about the next PM here boyos. i would have probably preferred david but i'm fine with eddy.
