Hello Kazanne,I,until these last 2 years had great doubts as to Ed Miliband as PM,I don't now though.
If what he is saying are his real hopes and he does do them if he wins the election then he is virtually taking the words out of my mouth as to what he is outlining as policy as to what I would like to see.
It is too only a year or so until the next election, he has regularly been heavily slammed from the press and other political critics for not detailing policies.
Now he is,he is electioneering.
Of course he is electioneering, he is the opposition leader he has to do that.
To just sit back and do and say little would rightfully mean disaster for his party and to leave all policy announcements until the last few months would look like desperation.
The last election we had was a near 2 year long campaign as to the run up to it.
For me, these policies outlined this week by this conference, show at least here has been some research and consultation with those that matter as to the problems and a bit more thought as to the planning of the policies too.
He couldn't really leave things with just good speeches until next years conference, he had to now, (and really maybe should have done so more last year too), detail policies that all party workers, his MPs and Councillors can get to work on now and plan how they will play it out in over a years time.
I as you know have fully crossed the political divide in the last 4 years, I worry for the NHS,( one my real reasons as to who I vote for in the main),the energy rising costs and also for the weakest,poorest and most vulnerable in the UK if something isn't done or changed.
Very sadly however,I see absolutely no sign of any compassionate change from the present Govt. as to its policies.
Although now the pathetic Lib Dems are making more snidey comments as to the Conservatives and making more overtures to Labour to try to ensure if Labour miss out on an overall majority they have a chance of staying as a part of Govt after 2015.
I think to be fair to Ed Miliband,this week he has from all he has said,opened up strong likely debate on a range of vital issues and set a strong initial agenda as to the next election.
As the Opposition leader,he has to do that and for me I throw a lot of credit to him for the way he has done so this week.
