I have to admit this was a big gaffe, I did find it highly amusing too however.

Better research as to where he is and who are the main people at the forefront of his Party in the area he is in at the time is needed for the future.
It should be the norm but my advice to all parties would be watch out,interviewers now want to get so far off topic they will try any trick to throw them off course.

It was like in the 2010 general election, you had David Cameron praising Gary Barlow as he was supporting the Conservatives but couldn't even say what group he was from.
Politicians need to be on their toes now,possibly more than ever,they cannot all get the likely pre set questioning as to interviews that for some reason Ian Duncan Smith always seems to possibly get so he can have his answers ready.

This was funny and a big gaffe though from Ed Miliband.
Having said that, when politicians do this sort of thing, I think it helps in some way to endear them more to more ordinary voters who then see them as human after all.
