Would Labour Do Better Without Ed Miliband?
« on: November 06, 2014, 08:33:03 PM »
I often hear people say that Labour would do a lot better without 'Red Ed' as leader . I'm not really a fan of the guy but not sure who would replace him.

I'm afraid Labour need more than just a new leader.

I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

Actually I don't know of anyone who would replace him? Any suggestions?

As Pete says the Party in itself needs more than a new leader, they don't seem to bring much to the table as of yet and the clock is ticking.
They need someone who is clear, decisive and has leader qualities as well.

Milliband is going nowhere.
1. The unions put him where he is and they don't want him out
2. The shadow cabinet don't want him out.

But even if they did there's no obvious candidate who isnt tarred with the current failures of Labour. 'Load Of' would be a disaster, his missus seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. Ed's brother (his nearest challenger last time) has quit politics.Andy Burnham, hero as he is to the Hillsborough campaign is still too much of an unknown lightweight.
