I'm voting for Ed because he has the best chance of beating his brother which is vital for Labour

Considering they just put the Torys in then no... Maybe in a couple of years that might be possible...

[oafc0000]

It wasnt decisive though, and i think a lot of people voted to change the way things were, and to get rid of a neo-conservative government, given the option of a real change back to left wing policies i think she might do well.

Who should lead it - well the obvious person in a perfect world is Abbott

I'm voting Ed Miliband because I do realy feel passionate about a lot of his policies, and also to keep David Miliband out.

It doesn't take an idiot to note that David Miliband isn't the perfect choice.

The guide on organising a house meeting is fantastic!

"Get in from work, give the place a quick vacuum and general tidy (or not, if

you’re not that type).

Put the oven on and get the nibbles in. If there are drinks, get them chilling.

Pick some music."

Forgetting even about politics and personalities it would be very hard for a black female to win a general election in the uk. I can see why people dont like david milliband but if your choosing purely for someone to get you into power he is possibly the right man. He has the right image and less gaffe prone than brown. He is also more likely to appeal to middle england, these things shouldnt matter but they do.

[Pogues Mcgogues]

Nope. The country by enlarge has overwhelmingly rejected the left time after time after time.

Ultimatel,y the defining ideology in this country today is "Blairism", and thee various parties simply fight out over how to implement it.

[llcoolphil]

Its between Dave and Ed Milliband I think.... Right vs Left of the party

[hot_ice]

I'd disagree, there are several area of the country which are most definitly left leaning.

But doesn't have any bollocks or he would have challenged Brown when it was abundantly clear that Labour were heading to disaster under his leadership. Or he might have decided to put himself and his own career aspirations before anything else - after all, he has no experience of anything outside of professional politics. Makes him look a twat either way.

[oafc0000]

Was it not you who told oaf that he cares too much about work type? What about his social experiences?

Also, anyone can enter their name to be a politician. There is no prerequisite to entering politics for a very very good reason! Stop being a moron over him.
