Labour "Own Goals"

Hoof Hearted 08 May 15 4.24pm
Not many would argue that Labour backed the wrong guy this election. His whole demeanour - geeky "Wallace (& Grommit)" look, his failure to overcome looking a tw*t eating a bacon sarnie, falling off the stage at the televised leader's debates, wheeling out the big stone of pledges, saying "tuffy nuss" and continually saying "When I'm Prime Minister" in a desperate tone... all added to his downfall as the public were turned off him. It reminded me of previous Labour leader faux pas:- Brown - forgetting he had a radio mike on in the car and saying "That woman was a bigot" and she was one of his supporters! Kinnock - falling over on the beach getting his arse wet by the tide. Foot - went everywhere in that duffle coat looking like a tramp. Any more?

Personality politics in full flow. Let's vote for someone based on how sexy or otherwise they look eating a bacon sandwich. Maybe we should have a lovely legs contest instead of voting on policy.

You're not wrong, I'm just saying it's a shame that you're not. 'Personality politics' is more much central to success than it used to be. The now hated 'Teflon Tony' didn't help matters to be fair.

Maybe we should have a lovely legs contest instead of voting on policy. The trouble is it wasn't just the bacon sandwich. For however many years leading up to the election he came across as a bumbling fool. Some of that undoubtedly down to the press but he was lurched from one disaster to another. He actually did quite well during the debates but then this last week he started to sound a bit too desperate, talking in soundbites. He even tripped up leaving the stage, if that had been the only gaff it could have been laughed off but he hardly came across as someone who could command respect. I would imagine Larry Grayson would have scared Putin / IS more than Ed. Then there was the casual dismissal of the IFS and absolving the last Labour administration from any responsibility. They had to push Milliband forward as Balls had to be kept out of the spotlight. the dignified don't even enter in the game
