Remembering Kerry
|
From Ed Miliband's speech I would agree he has distanced himself from that silly 'new' Labour title that Tony Blair brought in, whatever that meant.
My own view is that he will be the only Leader who is the new leader of a main party in 2015,(unless the Lib Dems see sense and get rid of Clegg). In that, I think it better for Labour that he is leader than his Brother David,who would be more associated overall with the last Labour govt for most of its time in power. David Cameron,while making a fair speech this week, was in effect though back to the 2010 campaign,he was forced in some ways to backtrack to then because of Ed Milibands speech. His problem being though,he has been in for 2 and a half years now,he did say the cuts were necessary, the reforms were necessary and the deficit had to be all but cleared by 2015,his plan for that was also stated as hopefully being able to cope with any further likely problems as to the Eurozone. He cannot now start again with the 2010 campaign now he sees that just about all areas of his policies as to the economy are failing or not even beginning to work.The deficit will be nowhere near being cleared by 2015,which was the whole basis of this Coalition. Seeing the methods/policies used to get whatever is off it by 2015,will not get the voters support for any more of those methods/policies in the future in my view. I think the voters will actually vote Labour,not for, (as I have said elsewhere), because they are really supporting Labour with their votes but they will be voting against this Coalition and its hidden agenda's which all surfaced after they got the votes last time in 2010. I actually think David Cameron knows full well that will likely be the case too and knows he is likely to be a one term PM. Trust,that is the problem David Cameron failed to address in his speech as opposed to Ed Miliband who presented himself as the new,(newer), Politician for the voters to see if he can be trustworthy. Sadly trust and Politicians are 2 words that the public don't connect together,but the broken promises of the Lib Dems who went on and on about trust every day in the 2010 election campaign.then betrayed that trust they got. Then the Conservatives guaranteeing no top to bottom,across the board reforming of the NHS but then doing it, will have the voters too afraid to trust either of those parties further. I think the voters will give Ed Miliband the chance in 2015 actually. Last edited by joeysteele; 11-10-2012 at 08:55 PM. |
