Is Ed Miliband A "Nothing Man"?


When their first parliamentary meeting 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 Cameron said Labour had a shadow chancellor who can not count and a Leader who didn't count! Funny as these remarks are do they really add to the policital process?

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 funny.

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 argue in the way that he does.

Ed Miliband might be very confident but is he a touch delusioned having no real economic policy?

His economic policy is a complete mystery and his shadow chancellor has great difficulty in being aware of his facts.

In respect of the current Oldham East and Saddleworth election it would seem that Downing Street have chosen to give the Lib Dems a safe run at this by-election as possible.

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 Liberal Democrats to keep Labour out.

How ever probably many Liberal Democrats have moved their votes to Labour even if some conservatives have voted for Liberal Democrats as a tactical vote.

The result is not surprising as the Liberal Democrats are in government in the coalition and as such usually by-election results by tradition go against the ruling party.

The public will of course decide their choice to represent them in The House of Commons and that is a good thing about British democracy.

I have every reason to think that Red Ed's Labour Party will win the seat but the current joke of course is that if they don't he can always go and take 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 crystal clear that if you want to be ruled by a union then vote for Ed Miliband'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. His shadow chancellor is having trouble getting his facts right so I wonder who is briefing him? The previous Labour chancellor had not ruled out a VAT increase and twice it was discussed by Labour when in Government. Is it not in fact that Ed Miliband is the wrong man at the wrong time? His brother David should have been the leader of the Labour party.
