Alcatraz Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I'm voting for Ed because he has the best chance of beating his brother which is vital for Labour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RABun Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Considering they just put the Torys in then no... Maybe in a couple of years that might be possible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc0000 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) 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.

Pogues Mcgogues Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smog Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 http://www.davidmiliband.net/2010/05/20/organise-an-event/ 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."

pink_triangle Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pogues Mcgogues Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 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 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Its between Dave and Ed Milliband I think.... Right vs Left of the party Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hot_ice Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) I'd disagree, there are several area of the country which are most definitly left leaning. Edited August 21, 2010 by hot_ice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pogues Mcgogues Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc0000 Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) 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.
