Labour election results in and ‘the other milliband’ has been elected as leader to the only party which is able to stand up to the ConDem coalition.
What??
That is like picking Rob Green to be England keeper…again. It must give Labour voters a similar feeling to that of Tim Henman enthusiasts during his height; you may like him but you know in the back of your mind he is never going to go all the way.
There is one hope for ‘Red Ed’ though. And that is to actually be a little bit red.
Please note that this plan will only work if he gets over the cold he’s been having for the past 40 years which makes him always sound bunged up. Burlusconi will eat him alive.
‘Prime Minister Ed’ sounds like a nickname that the kid who your mum made you play with would create for himself.
Ed hasn’t got the experience of success in a department; nor of sticking to his principles when it came to climate change policy.
Threaten to tax carrier bags 5p whilst approving airport expansion up and down the country? If he meant what he said; that climate change is the greatest threat to our [global] society then the ‘anything for jobs’ ideas kicking around since the recession wouldn’t have entered into it.
Anyway, that is getting a little side-tracked.
Ed can’t let down old labour voters or he’ll haemorrhage traditionalist labour supporters to parties such as the Greens. Sounds crazy at first but Brighton could just be the beginning.
Policies which Blair and Brown had the most criticism over were not Old Labour ideals; Labour can’t suffer take a leader whom ignores the core again.
I just sincerely hope he doesn’t end up a turncoat like Clegg.
If Ed can’t get his support from the centre left, he is certainly going to struggle. Where else is support going to come from?
And Ed doesn’t fancy all that hard work, he could just send his brother into work; not many people will know the difference. Problem solved.
