Just watched it, the political equivalent of watching a man get dismembered by a bear
Ed Milliband just hasnt got it.
I think he is going to get the boot.
It was pretty poor, but at least he can shout loudly enough to get his pathetic point across.
I watched question time on Thursday and Lib Dem 'Danny Alexander' was just awful. He was as meek as a mouse, and couldn't defend a single point effectively. His lack of voice meant he was drowned out at every opportunity to defend, whereas a more established politician would have made sure they were heard out, even if it killed them trying. The audience had decided from the start he was doomed. Such a shame David Laws had to drop out of the coalition, but perhaps he'll be back sooner than we think.
I'm not Labour's biggest fan, but they did make the mistake in which Milliband brother they elected, David has far more political sense and his brother's win was more of a popularity contest than who was the better leader.

You would have thought Labour had learned something from the last time they were in opposition and fielded Blair (style) over Brown (substance).
IMO, similar situation here - the other Milliband was potentially more appealing to voters.
Labours recent attempts to re-badge themselves as 'beyond new Labour' are desperate - as if the previous Labour years in Govt. never happened.

Mistake eh? Milliband Junior was election because unions said so - they've got massive power within Liebor party, and why not since it's them who finances it now (it's a bit harder to give Lordships to sponsors now).

If the opposition bow to the unions WE'RE ALL DOOOOOOOOOOMED
