purdy Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 It would appear that the odds are shortening. http://news.williamhill.com/a/politics/ed-miliband-out-odds-slashed/ William Hill have slashed their odds about Ed Miliband not leading Labour into the next General Election from 2/1 to 8/11 after a sudden rush of bets. They now offer Even money that he WILL still be leader when the Election takes place. 'In the space of a few minutes we received a sudden rush of interest in backing Ed Miliband to have stood down as leader before the Election - bookies can't afford to ignore unusual betting patterns of that nature, so we slashed the odds' said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.'The last time a leader was odds against to lead his Party into an Election it was Iain Duncan Smith!' added Sharpe.

T 42 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 It seems Miliband is doing even worse in Scotland. If the party get a real drubbing in the coming elections will that be his curtain call? http://newsnetscotland.com/index.php/scottish-politics/4164-anti-independence-party-leaders-face-catastrophic-poll-ratings The misery piles on for Mr Miliband as 78% of people in Scotland think he is not the best leader and 65% think he should stand down before the next election. Only 20% of Scots in questioned in the poll believe that Miliband should lead Labour into the next General Election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Ed Elasticband is the best advert for the Torys. He may talk down his nose but he looks better than his wild eyed brother. It was reccommended that Gordon Brown should get married and Ed married to sort of seem ligit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vague_Boy Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Is time running out for Ed Miliband as Labour leader after failing to make an impact after stabbing his brother in the back? How did he "stab his brother in the back"? There was an election, he won. Round 1: David Miliband 37.78%, Ed Miliband 34.33% Diane Abbott eliminated Round 2: David Miliband 38.89%, Ed Miliband 37.47%. Andy Burnham eliminated Round 3: David Miliband 42.72%, Ed Miliband 41.26%, Ed Balls eliminated Round 4: David Miliband 49.35%, Ed Miliband 50.65%. Ed Miliband wins.

Vague_Boy Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 BTW, go easy on the insults. Words like 'gullible' and 'turnips', can easily cause offence. Surely that's the point of insults? Ed Miliband is the best thing to happen to the Labour Party for years - hope he stays as Labour leader for the next twenty years Tory voters would agree. But of course you don't probably don't believe what you post anyway. Mecky is another ideologically blinkered SF poster. Political atheism is the way forward for the true free thinker.

The Labour party should learn their lesson from the Welsh windbag Kinnocio. By sticking with him in the face of all common sense he cost them 2 elections. Kinnocio did all right out of it though. He rode the EU gravy train for years. Then he got made a Lord. Revealed: How the Kinnocks have enjoyed an astonishing £10m ride on the EU gravy train All paid for by you of course. Another "working class hero". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Miliband builds up his pension fund for every year that he is leader of the opposition. Why would he care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Totally agree. Where was anyone in Labour or elsewhere opposing these excesses? Good to hear Boris Johnson saying these payments are totally unjustifiable ... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/9043366/Boris-Johnson-brands-RBS-chiefs-bonus-absolutely-bewildering.html Boris Johnson has no option but to say that. He's up for re-election this year and has to reflect the public mood. Normally he's quite happy about privilege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairDooz Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Political atheism is the way forward for the true free thinker. Yes ... and then Direct Democracy Direct Democracy Now You can be sure political parties and their vested interests will do all they can to prevent any such thing. There is a small but growing grundswell for DD. We have the technology after all. If we can do secure banking online, then we can do secure voting.
