Is this chap playing the 'Leader' game?
He is horrible, odious and has several faces to suit a situation, but he seems to be talking about supporting this 'mansion tax' and various other things. Generally endearing himself to the public.
Is there a threat to the buffoon Milliband on the horizon?

Not from b
kbrain Ed Balls.
Yvette Cooper, Balls wife, very possibly.
David Milliband still an outside chance.
Liam Byrne (another odious prick) possibly.
Uncle Tom Cobley would be an improvement on Millipede.
The good news is that Labour is right back to being completely unelectable.
Not since the dark days of another left wing doyen, Michael Foot, has the labour zenith waned so low. Good.

Well the last YouGov poll on 29/2 had Labour leading by 2, so is there anything else other than this and the Euro that you would like to be wrong about?jains15 said:

But after seing almost exactly bugger all change since the election i really don't care who is in number 10

Armed with the greatest victory achieved by the UK (and the AMERICANS!!!) in its history and adored and respected by millions he led the Conservative party to the most ignominious defeat in UK election history.
And yet was reelected by the UK voters in the following election.
Just shows how fickle politics is.
But I do think Millipede is unelectable. He will be out in 12 months IMO.
I doubt Milliband will ever get into number 10, he's an embarrasment to the Labour party.
Is there anyone apart from his brother who could manage it? That would be a bit of a vote winner if the brother was wheeled into position 3-6 months before a general election.
I hope Ed stays in charge for the forseeable future, he is the Tories best weapon.

Alistair Darling? Labour will hold leader elections within 15 months my crystal ball tells me.Is there anyone apart from his brother who could manage it? That would be a bit of a vote winner if the brother was wheeled into position 3-6 months before a general election.

Hmmm. Perhaps look at it a slightly different way then: Where do you think we would be now if Gordon Brown had won the election and remained in power?Basically the choice on the ballot paper is ebola or aids if you wish to stick to the big 2

Apparently people with left-leaning views are generally more politically active and proportionately more likely to agree to answer opinion poll questions than people of a right-leaning viewpoint.
I'm actually amazed that Labour aren't further in front.

Liam Byrne! That would be electoral suicide. Aside from being an odious prick, indeed because he is... he will never lead the Labour Party, certainly not to government, the man who left the note "we've spent all the money" even if not true (the note I mean) that toxic story will always be attached to him. He's also bald. Bald men don't get elected in the TV age.kbrain Ed Balls.Yvette Cooper, Balls wife, very possibly.

Yvette Cooper is not going to be hit with the voters either.
David Miliband is probably the most electable, he has to wait until the Blair years are looked on more fondly, i.e. Long enough for the mess to be all airbrushed/attributed to Gordon Brown.
