I agree with all you say MTVN, also though the Labour party need to look at this one I think,I have no party allegiance at all, I can see the good and bad of all parties however the British people are overall a fair minded people still, they don't like seeing a Brother sort of backstabbing another Brother,especially an older one.

It is an issue for them and Cameron is able to open that wound so many times because Ed Miliband really lacks the power punch he needs to beat Cameron.
I mentioned about 70 students in my above post, most of them do not like Ed Miliband and would not vote Labour for the reason that he seemed to backstab his older Brother.

You are absolutely correct though, Miliband should have had loads of field days against Cameron and Clegg in the Commons but he fails completely 75% of the time.
