Wade Garrett Posted 7 May, 2010 Share Posted 7 May, 2010 Dune has informed me on another thread that the bookies are leaning towards another election this year. Just wondering if anyone else thinks that Labour may poll better under another leader. I like Gordon Brown, but he is the David James of politics - you're just waiting for him to make a mistake. He doesn't have the confidence of the electorate. However, someone like David Miliband is an entirely different proposition. He actually enjoyed his exchanges with Paxo last night, and is a bit smart. I think he could increase the Labour vote. Harriet Harman would sink the party without trace.

He's smarmy and smug and all teeth. Don't like him at all. Edited 7 May, 2010 by dune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge too far Posted 7 May, 2010 Share Posted 7 May, 2010 Milliband made Osborne look a complete mug on itv yesterday Not difficult because Osborne IS a complete mug. Anyone else notice how he was kept firmly out of the picture during the run-up to the election? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my view, having met him. Your view is based on what exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revolution saint Posted 7 May, 2010 Share Posted 7 May, 2010 Personally I'd rather Alan Johnson as labour leader. Whatever happens I can't see Gordon being leader in a year's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets have another election minus all the other parties apart from tory and labour and see what happens I didn't like Blair because he was very good and a vote winner. I think the Labour lot think Milliband is a young Tony Blair but he definitely is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
