Tom's Notes—Ed Miliband: wait, what?

You know...

Let's be honest...

I get it...

Let's be honest...

I've always been very clear...

Let's be honest...


The rhetoric of Ed Miliband; we've got 4 years of this ahead. I think the over-arching thought, that no-one dares speak yet, is "wait, what?"

Ed Miliband leading the Labour party was a pleasant fiction during nomination. But now the fiction has become reality, no-one seems sure that they're sure this was for the best. The amount of media coverage older brother David still attracts suggests the media thinks it was a gaffe. The mechanical reception to his inaugural speech yesterday sets out regular party members' view of Ed. And the general public having little to absolutely no idea who Ed Miliband is says it all.

Here's my take: read again the rhetorical tics of Ed Miliband above—for what he's really like, think of the opposite.

Just wait and see.
