Labour need to learn that lurching to the left does not generally appeal to the electorate. It would be better for them to be a centrist Government than a left wing opposition. Ed Milliband shouldn't be the sole fall guy in this, he actually campaigned pretty well. But he was the wrong choice of leader, and the unions, particularly Unite are to blame for this. I voted for his brother and was pretty upset when he lost.
Ed Balls losing his seat is good for Labour. He is a walking car crash.
Labour need to reclaim the centre-ground. It would be good if they could get David Milliband and James Purnell back into Government.
Good luck to David Cameron. They fought a little bit dirty but this is politics, not a tickling contest. I hope his cuts are aimed at the feckless work shy, and not the disabled, ill or needy. They have a slender majority, and governing the country will be far from easy. I wish them well and hope they do a good job for the whole country, not the privileged few.
Still gutted that Labour lost though!
