Am I the only person who struggles to listen to Ed Milliband?

I know he says some reasonable, socially acceptable things and I am more comfortable with his politics than those of Cameron, but as soon as he opens his mouth, I get the impression he doesn't listen to others and he just gives lip service to the subjects he is discussing. He talks in soundbites and cliches, and he drives me bonkers within minutes. I don't think he makes a good leader of the opposition, but when I look around, I'm not sure there are many other decent leaders, either.

em I was in the SDP as well and still consider myself a Social Democrat - met all the 'gang of four' in the early days! Woe betide anyone who calls me a Liberal!

The Scotland debate is heating up. On World at One there was a discussion today about moving the nuclear submarine which the Scots never wanted on their coastline in the first place. Idea: they could place it next to Boris's new airport in the Thames estuary and get all the necessary building done at the same time.
We could then open it for tourists to look at......, but there would be no Union Jacks flying just that awful red and white flag.

What on earth would you want to listen to Ed Milliband for?

To TRY and find out what policies the opposition may be developing in preparation for government??? Can't say much was learned, though.

Yes Carol it's a way of saying we aren't giving up yet - but we're running out of options, aren't we?
