Ed Milliband For Pm

[emmie]

would you want this man as the next British PM. Seeing as how most of the problems surrounding mass immigration within the last ten years or so was on their watch. I can't quite see how this proposal would work. And i wouldn't vote for him at any point in case you were wondering.

okay, have cameron and clegg then, as we're all in this together.

Should this have been posted under Jokes instead?

[emmie]

no joke, he is perfectly serious, read the link, it's not remotely funny.

[jno]

he's going to demand that all immigrants learn English. Bad idea? But he may change his mind when he hears you won't vote for him anyway (even though he never had any personal responsibility for immigration in the first place)

[Baldric]

I was referring to the thread title em.

[emmie]

he worked for Gordon Brown, has been a long standing member of the Labour party, doesn't that count.

[ichkeria]

No.
But I certainly do want Ed Miliband to be PM :-)

[emmie]

baldric, had to think of something catchy, so many posts go off because no one bothers to read them, preferring perhaps instead to reply on the latest weather report, i am as guilty of that m'lud ... x

[emmie]

Ick, quite why?

[emmie]

from BBC,
he doesn't seem to have someone's overall support, this was in the House of Commons

But there was one notable exception, a man who made no effort to conceal the fact the Labour leader had lost the interest of the room. Ed Balls, the pugnacious shadow chancellor and devout disciple of Gordon Brown, was nonchalantly reading and sending messages on his BlackBerry while Mr Miliband droned on.

[Baldric]

It will be a very sad day for this Country when Labour take over the helm again as records show they inevitably will, they bankrupted the Country last time around, how much lower could they take us?

[ichkeria]

Because I'm Labour through and through em :-)

[emmie]

how far do you wish to fall.

[emmie]

Ickeria, i must admit i thought so, but just wanted you to say it.

[NOX]

Yes I'd prefer Ed Milliband to be Prime Minister because if you seriously think this country can withstand another term of the ConDems you're delusional.

[McMouse]

I'd rather drink poison than vote for Ed Milliband.

[NOX]

If you voted for Cameron and Clegg you already have McMouse ;-)

[McMouse]

I didn't vote for Cameron and Clegg NOX. For that matter I don't know anyone who did.

Wasn't it the global financial meltdown that bankrupted the country?

Regarding Milliband...

...I've always been a Labour voter (except once when I went Liberal during the London mayoral elections), but David Cameron has done more to sway me than any other Conservative leader ever. I think he's a fine leader, but I disagree with many of his policies.

However, I think Milliband is a bit of an also-ran, but I generally believe in the policies put forward by Labour.

So ideally, I'd have Cameron leading the Labour party.

Sorted.
