The General Election Thread

Was it from a UKIP site? ;-)

The LWNJ's are getting nervous!

We call them the envy crew, it is much better

He's as working class as Farage.

neither do i, i just googled ed milliband pics, twas only a joke, he is unelectable though

Was it from a UKIP site? ;-)

Google images i believe

Anything and everything that he touches recently has been a disaster, so much so that I'm beginning to wonder if it's been deliberate by the Labour Party. It's like they lost faith in him some time ago and don't care anymore.

That Alan Johnson bloke seems a decent sort, is it too late to change though?

Nigel has never claimed to be a socialist or to be the leader of a socialist political party.

Bit of a Moyes situation perhaps.

When's Ed's brother coming back?

Likes to imply he's a man of the people though.

I think so. Can't remember there being a time when an opposition leader was dumped so close to an election.
It's turning into something approaching the Michael Foot years and I'm sure it will pan out the same.

Smokes and drinks bitter seems genuine

Or good at promoting himself.

Strangely enough I saw him on BBC news for the first time in ages just the other day ;-)
I don't think he will be in the frame though, they will want someone that smacks of a new start.

Probably but it means I'm disappointed less frequently.

I've felt for some time that the outcome of the next election was far from the procession of a Labour victory that many who follow that party had boldly predicted.

There were a number of reasons for that, but they mainly centre around the economy (stupid) and the Labour Party's enduring capacity to pick leaders who are virtually unelectable. I used to know a restaurant owner who was widely renowned for putting stuff on the menu that she liked, rather than what her customers wanted. She could never understand why no **** went in there. Labour need to pick a menu that appeals to the electorate - and most specifically those among voters that decide the outcome of general elections. Alan Johnson would do the trick. Not sure about D. Milliband. What I am sure about us that Ed Milliband will be viewed in the same terms as Michael Foot in a generation.

We have similar outlooks, politics miles apart mind

Wasn't it the union vote that swung it for him if i remember correctly?

They're entitled to vote with their conscience, but they've made an enormous mistake. A half decent leader and Kabour would be 'home and hosed' imo.

Was just wondering the reasons behind it, why him and not his brother, remember a bit of controversy over it, like his brother was a shoe in/or the Labour MP's wanted David, my memory is foggy

At least Foot had something about him. He had intelligence, charisma and was a great orator. Ed has nothing. Any of the other contenders for the leadership would have been better than him.
