The Famous Mr Ed.

It's too early to say what effect the election of Ed Miliband to Labour leader will have. During the campaign he seemed the less likely of the two brothers to take Labour back to the centre ground and a bit too willing to tell people what they wanted to hear. Labour members seem to believe he is less likely to win the election than Bananaman, which is perhaps why they voted for David. In the short term he will certainly get a boost in the polls and Labour should be ahead in the polls by next week but unless he changes tack and starts adopting a more moderate tone, in defiance of what his party wants, then he will never be prime minister.

"...and a bit too willing to tell people what they wanted to hear."

His immediate 'I love the middle classes, me! Salt of the earth, innit?' speech seems to prove that.

Julia- Yeah I thought so.

James- I'm sure your local Labour Party has a constituency office.
