He is speaking to so many different audiences that he will find it very difficult to please them all."<br /><br />He didn't have to. He won the vote. When is he going to get around to setting out *his own stall* rather than trying please everyone? <br /><br />I've had enough of blank canvas politicians from all three main parties who say what they think their immediate audience wants to hear rather than possessing values and ideals of their own and letting the audience judge them.Garethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11182144080955551878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-67190082908418390872010-09-28T15:45:02.238+01:002010-09-28T15:45:02.238+01:00Looks like the socialist morons post speech wankfe...Looks like the socialist morons post speech wankfest is well under way.Jabba the Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08378736389976858775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-62124027262314631472010-09-28T15:35:38.703+01:002010-09-28T15:35:38.703+01:00I tried, I really tried to watch it but lost the w...I tried, I really tried to watch it but lost the will to live.Lady Finchleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03695379463537122656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-82982233754305771692010-09-28T14:53:20.534+01:002010-09-28T14:53:20.534+01:00he just nhas ntomdelivewr a load of nplatitude3s. ...he just nhas ntomdelivewr a load of nplatitude3s. tell the audience how wonderful they are.<br /><br />By all accounts he has started - by listing all labours 'achievements'. <br />Well whatever these are alleged to be they are all founded on a mass of borrowed money with no plan to pay it back.<br /><br />Anybody can run the country on that basis - as we have seen usually into the ground.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-58490156042125980032010-09-28T13:47:29.538+01:002010-09-28T13:47:29.538+01:00To me, it all hinges on what David decides to do.
...To me, it all hinges on what David decides to do.<br /><br />That fact alone, then tells us Ed's performance is not the most important factor here.<br /><br />If David won, that would not have been the case.<br /><br />Therein, IMHO, lies the tragedy for Ed that will now unfold.<br /><br />For David, judgement, preparation and chance will decide if he manages to become leader and then - god forbid - PM.Roger Thornhillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591327286533118901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-65520874685107137332010-09-28T13:33:08.663+01:002010-09-28T13:33:08.663+01:00He'd do far better just not mentioning his bro...He'd do far better just not mentioning his brother at all.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252054403352395221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-21983914796969846372010-09-28T13:27:22.773+01:002010-09-28T13:27:22.773+01:00Not impossible.

Would also be good to hear some firm policy commitment instead of generic change but doubt that will happen.Michael Heaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10815028897338910665noreply@blogger.com
