Dear All
It seems that Labour leader Ed Miliband isn’t
looking like a Prime Minister in waiting but more like a dog to kick as you
pass it by.
Recently Ed Miliband was dragged over the
coals by Myleene Klass, the ex model and Hear’Say singer, she utterly savaged
him on TV and wiped the floor that people began tweeting that she should stand
for Prime Minister.
To make matter worse, if they can get any
worse, he has been mocked for “fewer people in Scotland believing in his
leadership than the Loch Ness monster”.
The brutal barb happened during exchanges
across the dispatch box during fierce exchanges in Prime Minister’s questions.
And things don’t look too rosy in the
Garden from his supporters as there was a failed coup from Labour backbenchers
to remove him as Labour leader.
The incident with Mylene Klass on ITV’s Agenda
is fairly interesting in that people are getting angry with Labour, voters are
leaving the party behind to transfer their votes elsewhere to parties such as
Ukip.
On top of that Labour members are leaving
the party resulting in Labour branches shutting down.
It seems that the Labour Party could be
reaching a tipping point where people of the UK think that Labour’s time is
over.
What does Labour stand for?
This is a question asked by many and few if
any can answer, the Labour Party is run by a professional elite straight out of
University and College, they don’t connect with ordinary people, they don’t
take their problems on board and their public service ethos is questionable.
The extent that Mylene Klass tore into Miliband’s
proposal for a levy on properties worth more than £2 million shows how deep the
Labour Party’s problems are. In Scotland, there is a Labour leadership contest
doing on, but that is in the shadow of only 1 in 50 Scots having full trust in
Ed Miliband.
Labour is in trouble on both sides of the
border, many people I know hope that Labour MP Jim Murphy wins the election to
be Scottish leader, but Labour need more than a personality, it isn’t simply
about having a smart mouth at FMQs which are a joke.
It is about delivering for people who attend
the surgeries of MP, MSP and Councillors, it is about rebuilding trust, it is
about new vision, fresh talent and a real commitment to public service.
If Jim Murphy wins, he will need to have a
cull because the problems go beyond more than image.
Scotland is different post 18th
September, it isn’t business as usual and if the Labour Party do not adjust to
the radical change then; they will start to sink towards the levels of
Conservative support; more newer parties will enter the market making a return
to power very difficult.
Ed Miliband became the leader of the Labour
Party through the Union votes, perhaps it is time that voting is restricted to
Labour Party members only. At present rather than being the voice of the
people, Ed Miliband is looking like someone who doesn’t understand or fails to
understand the concerns of people.
Immigration is a problem, his solution is
to talk utter rubbish and ignore the ordinary people of the UK, but guess what;
they have clicked on to the fact that they can just ignore him and cast their
vote elsewhere.
Things for the Labour Party are particularly
bad in Scotland, down south you can multiply that problem x 10 and still have
room for others.
In 2015, Ed Miliband might not be Prime
Minister because he might not have a seat in the House of Commons.
Maybe he should think on that!
