Dale for Miliband
These are my results in the Votematch survey to find which Labour leadership candidate I most agree with. Well that should scupper David Miliband's chances!
If you want to find which candidate you match, click HERE.
You seem very in tune with David Miliband and not so much with the others who managed to submit answers. I matched almost identically with both Milibands and Ed Balls, I wonder what the key differences in answers were between us. David Miliband: 66%, Ed Miliband: 64%, Ed Balls: 61%, Diane Abbott: 35%.
I got was ahead on Diane Abbott on 58%, with Milli-E and Milli-D merely a whisker behind both on 57%.
What a load of nonsense. How can I match pretty much identically with the candidate of the right, the candidate of the left and the candidate of the loony left? When I'm pretty sure I'm well to the right of all of them.
I must have the most schitzophrenic political views of any man in the country.
I put on my best blue suit with pussy-bow blouse; put in my carmen rollers; and answered in the spirit of Margaret Thatcher as she was in 1978. Like you, I got Disco Dave. Like you, I'm mildly worried by the Jungian implications.
Seeing as the basic premise of New Labour was to steal the Tory's clothes it is no surprise that most Tory voters would pick David Milliband on policy. It is a pity, from Labour's point a view, that he is such a prat.
Strange that Iain, came up with the same readings meself.
Clearly Ed is in the wrong party or has decided on a tactical ploy, known to marxists and communists the world over as Маска Ваши действия (masking your actions), i.e. being mendacious, duplicitous and leading all astray to gain advantage.

ReplyDeleteIain, you should warn people that taking part will make one feel sick. The questions are biased in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteErm....my best match was Diane Abbott followed by EdMil. Though I think Burnham would be best in reality.
ReplyDeleteI am a Dianne followed by an Ed Milliband
ReplyDeleteHmmm ok
Ha!

ReplyDeleteThat Iain, a Tory, is in tune with David M rather than Ed M is no surprise.

Iain, I'm a 68% D Milli man, with a 38% match to Balls. God help me - Balls is my MP!!
