Should Ed Milliband Resign?

Maybe his bro will put him on that Thunderbird 5 space-station thing?

It was all a bit too much for Ed. Messed up by not countering the Tory picking at fears about the SNP.

Ah.

Sorry, I can edit and put in laughter if you like.

This would be the appropriate course of action.

Caught in a pincer movement between Scottish and English nationalism. Didn't see it coming. Tbf a lot of people didn't.

you really think a more left wing labour party would have done better?

yes, yes i do. but that would have required a more left-wing labour party to have existed for four years and not the length of an election campaign: so unlikely to have happened in any plausible reality.

Couldn't have done much worse.

*I mean predict as likely, not like as in 'would stand them a half'

See Idris2002's pic on the other thread. The SNP and Greens both campaigned on a clear anti-austerity message and did well (well reasonable well in the case of the Greens), regardless of how accurate that message represents their true positions. John McDonnell won his seat on an increased majority.

The right-wing LDs were always going to split to the Tories, but if Labour had had the guts to fight on a true austerity agenda they would have hoovered up a lot of those Green votes as well as maybe inspiring some of the 35% of people who didn't vote.

Hell my mum's voted Labour all her life but it's now only from habit and dislike of the Tories that has her going to polling station, if she lived in Scotland I reckon she'd have gone SNP

This......^^^

Playing on fears and winning because of it...

Depressing..

Despite the Tories being the utter shites they are, there is no way Milliband is going to get anywhere near the PM's job.

Are you, or anyone else making this case, going to present any evidence for it? In fact, beyond stating it, are you going to present any argument for it at all?

And huh huh he looks like a dork doesn't really count.

Plenty of evidence now.

I though you were politically astute? Obviously not.
