The case for David Miliband

David Miliband

There is nothing clever about supporting a clear winner and my decision to campaign for David Miliband has more to do with the fact that he will be the one who could persuade the huge number of floaters to vote against the ConLibs. The argument is the same as the one used when Tony (not so nice) Blair was elected. He attracted those who were sitting on the fence and gave us 13 years of Labour government which allowed us to bring in necessary reforms the minimum wage Act being one of those big changes that no Tory governmnet would have introduced. He then went totally mad and took us into an illegal war but he was removed because of that. So even though Tony Blair was not liked by the average left to left or even soft left activists he did bring in the customers at the start!

And I know this very pragmatic way of thinking is not at all attractive but it is real and the evidence shows it will yield the desired result. Ed Miliband isn't a bad candidate at all but his brother looks and sounds better on television and that will bring in the extra votes we will need to throw the Tories out of government. Its a simple PR exercise!

I was in fact having this debate with a 'commrade' from Lambeth last night (he happened to be there in the same pub as me) this lefty who is as good looking as Nora Batty and has the wit and charm of Robert Mugabe, was arguing that we (those of us in the Labour party) should regain the party before we start supporting any leaders better still, in his opinion, leave the Labour project and join a real (in his Mugabian reasoning) party. This is the kind of person of course who would rather spend time and energy arguing with the other 28.4 ultra left versions of the far left than concentrate on achiieviing change and therefore and that way help those wo need it most?

Anyway I conclude by saying that a vote for David of the Milibands is a vote for reality and real chance of change! This is drastically important as the ConLibs will soon be collapsing and the Tories will be running the show for the next 13 years! By the end of that time we will all be working until we are 92 have 5 days annual leave and pay for our childrens education (we already do of course via taxation)



David Miliband for Leader!!
