No I don’t think Ed Milliband is a natural leader- but he has worked hard to be taken more seriously and deserves greater respect than the misinformation and crude insults launched at him during the campaign by bigots- the lie that having more Scot nats in the UK parliament and voting on certain issues with Labour will lead to a disintegration of the UK (more chance of this happening with a Conservatives in power and pushing for an exit from the EU).
No I don’t think Cameron has been a great prime-minister. He lacks vision and warmth and any real experience of what it’s like to be underprivileged and poor and will be voted on by those who put self-interest before the common good. His government would have provoked more riots on the streets, and wars-had it not been in coalition with a softer partner- and yet I know I am not alone in not really knowing what the Lib Dems really stand for any more and in knowing that Boris is not Winston Churchill.
Yes, my entire heart and soul revolts against UKIP- party essentially of little Englanders at their most prejudiced.
And Yes the Greens deserve to be given the Ministry for the Environment.
And Yes lets tax the non-doms and the mansions, and every pollutant in the land- and improve our social housing, schools, and National Health Service, and sense of respect for human life and nature. I can’t say I feel hugely excited or inspired by the current state of British politics, but Labour will have my vote tomorrow-as a matter of faith.
