    Labour is still looking a bit boring, like under Brown. Needs more charisma, like in the early days of Blair.

      For “Charisma” read “Spin”.

    He can change his shadow cabinet all he wants but while he and Ed Balls remain in the top positions they will remain unelectable. He doesn’t get it. It isn’t so much his team that makes him unelectable… it’s him.

    They need a new out look and new people away from the Blair/Brown area before they can move forward.

      But then you are Conservative-leaning, so what do you care?

    Eagle should get more exposure. She’s pretty on the ball. And poor Ed M should stay in the wings as much as possible.

    Miliband didn’t even mention marriage equality in his address to the party conference recently, yet Cameron and Clegg did. What does that say about Labour?

    I hope Angela Eagle does well and is successful, from my very limited experience of her she is one of the few politicians I have encountered that seemed genuine.

    Labour screwed up with ed milliband, he’s worse than michael foot and Neil Kinnock. If only the unions had not stopped david milliband we might have some chance of getting rid of the etonians, sorry tories. Poor Angela, she’ll be like Iain Duncan Smith’s leader of the house of commons, not that anyone would know who that was.

    This is good that the mp has been noted, but David cameron and the liberty liberal party needs more gay liberal women and men especially women because they dont have many and womens rights and glass ceiling need to move to action here, to parliment seats and mps in the us and london and every country, sanfrisico, must wake the citizens to elect the liberal democracy gay candidate, who has a background in equal rights and fair treatment of womens rights , and minorities and senior citizens conscerns and domestic programs and national security implementations, local and national , and where are the gay latino democratic women , find them as well, and elect them with like backgrounds of people concerns, bevin duffy seems well for sanfransico, but where are the gay democratic women that should be running as well for these positions, Emilies list must aid in finding them, if the people cant seem to know any,

    They should have elected David Miliband. Ed M is a nice guy, but so was Michael Foot. They both seem equally unelectable.

    Maybe Ed M is not getting the air time to make an impression. But I still get the impression he’s just taking part in school/uni debates rather than being a real leader.
