I'm hoping that the Labour party under Ed will aid to rebuild infrastructure, it will be a seemingly impossible task, by the time if or when he does enter there will be nothing of value left that hasn't been sold off to tory backers.
I think the fact he hasn't been grandstanding is very reassuring, he is preparing for government and that takes a lot of work I would have thought.
Personally I haven't met Ed Milliband but I have met Rachel Reeves, she is very warm, intelligent and has a social conscience not traits usually found in MPs 
You hear that joey? Hurry up the nation needs you!  |
As I have said before to you Kizzy, Rachel Reeves is a truly 'real' and genuine person in politics.
She holds a great deal of the same thinking as Ed Miliband and therefore it is no surprise she is one of his rising stars.
I have heard her speak many times and she is one of the warmest and nicest individuals you could meet.
She will make a really excellent cabinet Minister and if she got Work and Pensions, then real understanding and compassion will I am certain be brought into all policy making and the further reforms in that department.
I don't care what Ed Miliband looks like or sounds like, it what he believes and stands for and what he says he will do that is the key for me.
We have all these near supposed perfect and educated Cabinet Ministers who talk expressing the word 'do' as 'dooo',it all sounds good to some but sadly the content of the words,tone,attitude and ideas are heartless and unjust most of the time.
Give me someone any day who speaks about fairness and justice and believes in compassion, treating people as individuals with dignity and not blocks or numbers,then I wouldn't care one bit as to how they sound or look.
I find very little of that indeed as to the way of fairness.justice and compassion from these so called wonderful talkers there are in Govt at present.
What people do,how they think as to others, how they look out for and treat other people is of far more importance to me.
In all that Ed Miliband stands massively above the likes of David Cameron, Ian Duncan Smith and George Osborne, indeed above most of this hardline,extreme uncaring cabinet.
