It's going to take a long long time for Middle England (who by and

Brown and allowing him to foist his gross incompetence upon us all.

Just ask any Labour party worker, knocking on doors much south of
Manchester, and they will tell you just how universally hated that man
was and consequently what an electoral liability he was also.


Perhaps you should also ask the Tory party workers why they gained so
very few seats north of Manchester?


Those same voters are hardly going to take kindly to the likely new
leader (the other Dave) that was part of the problem because he so
woefully failed to act against Brown despite numerous golden
opportunities to do so.


Had Milliband, D taken over from the Ruined Bruin before the election,
he would have been the new leader who lost that election. That would
have been political suicide. By waiting, he did the right thing.

However, Milliband, D is not guaranteed to win, given that he now has
a strong opponent in the form of young Milliband, E. Apparently
Milliband, E has promised the unions that he will remove all legal
obstacles to secondary industrial action when Labour regains power,
which is why the unions are all recommending that their members vote
for Milliband, E.

For those who cannot tell them apart, Milliband, E is the one who does
*not* brandish a banana while wearing a silly grin. ;-)
