Is Ed Miliband The Right Man At The Wrong Time?
When their first parliamentary exchange happened in this year, Mr Cameron referred to Ed Miliband as the "nothing man", while Ed Miliband accused Dave Cameron of making "pathetic excuses".
At another similar exchange Dave Cameron said Labour had a shadow chancellor who can not count and a Leader who didn't count! Funny as these remarks may be do they really add to the policital system?
Surely It is time to stop this Punch and Judy show in the house of commons that happens every wednesday at Prime Minister's question time?
I have to say, sometimes, it can be very entertaining.
However is this not meant to be a working place where decisions are made rather than an entertainment show?
It could simply be that because the new leader of the labour party is very new to the job and seems to lack any decent or proper policies that he has no alternative other than debate in the way that he does.
Ed Miliband might appear to be confident but is he delusioned when it comes to economic history?
His economic policy is a complete mystery and his shadow chancellor has some difficulty in being aware of the rates of National Insurance.
Dealing with the current by-election at Oldham East and Saddleworth it would seem that Downing Street have chosen to give the Lib Dems a clear run at this by-election as they possibly can.
The polls and various sources think that Labour will win. The last result was a win by Labour of just over 100 votes a very close majority. There has been talk of the tories voting tactically that is voting for the Lib Dems to keep the Labour Party out.
How ever probably many Lib Dems have moved their votes to Labour even if some conservatives have voted for Liberal Democrats as a tactical vote.
The result is not so surprising as the Lib Dems are in government in the coalition and as such usually by-election results by tradition go against the ruling party.
The voters will no doubt make their choice to represent them in The House of Commons and that is a good thing about British democracy.
I have every reason to believe that Ed Miliband's Labour Party will win the seat but the current joke of course is that if they don't he can always go and steal his brother's proposed Job at Sunderland Football Club.
There is still a lot of very hostile feeling when Ed Miliband became the leader of the party not that he did become leader but about how he did it on the slimmest of margins and with out a majority of support from his own MP's and only because he had more backing from the face less unions.
The choice is very clear if you want to be ruled by a union then vote for Red Ed's Labour party.
Ed Miliband has made clear his opinion that the increase in VAT 17.5% to 20% is as he put it "The wrong tax at the wrong time" he sounds like the man who can see the speck in every body elses eye but not the plank in his own. Is it, not in fact, that he is the wrong man at the wrong time? Surely his brother David should have been the leader of the Labour party?
