Because Ed is the Unions' bitch. They say "jump", he says "how high?".

Slightly OT, those with twitter go follow Domjoly's rants about Ed - they're hilarious.

David is an unwavering neo-Blairite who supported the Iraq War, Labour's draconian anti-terror laws and the introduction of student top-up fees.

Here is his voting record
http://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/dav...s#votingrecord

He was also involved in the expenses scandal. He was every bit a part of the problem that New Labour created. He would have been a terrible choice of leader imho.

You know what politicians are? Racing drivers have layers of clear polythene over their visors which they peel away as they become soiled. That's what politicians are.

I bet New Labour really was dead until Ed got a bollocking by Malcolm Tucker.

I find nothing wrong with being educated and posh aslong as they have their feet in the real world and are not elitists

Not unless the British public also have a death wish. All those years in power and Labour left the country in an unholy mess - that's not a legacy to be proud of, or wish to have revisited on our country. Labour has the EX factor alright.

Britain is in a debt bind like most of the world. Governments have little or nothing to do with running the country. Governments are window dressing, and whichever one takes your fancy gets your vote.

Typical politician. He has said nothing of any meaning or significance through the duration of his speech. I feel like I have no reason to vote Cameron and Clegg out now.

He's smarter and more charismatic than those two and politics is only a beauty contest these days.

I would say he was on about level pegging with them, charisma-wise. Smarter? That remains to be seen, but the least you can say about Cameron and Clegg is that they are no spinning the disaster that was New Labour into some sort of slightly faltering success story. Ed screwed up. He is too afraid of his critics in the opposition and the national press to give the Labour party a purpose again. So he has opted to let the party remain as interchangeable with the opposition as it has been since 1994.

It's all well and good to take rhetorical potshots at bankers, but as long as he is content to stick with a system with New Labour maintained engendered, which allowed the bankers to get so above their station in the first place, they are just words and nothing else.

Yep. I'd rather shoo them all oout the door than heve such obscene inequality. I hate bankers, they are the scum of the earth and should be universally demonised.

I hate the way Sky News will tell their audience what to make of this speech, there is too much editorial comment from them, the news is all about them, Kay Burley or that fat bloke who sounds like he's got chronic indigestion.
