Yes. The majority vote in the Parliamentary Labour Party and vote of the Labour Party membership in the country was in favour of David Milliband. However, the Union vote ended up giving the leadership to Ed. The unions believed Ed to be more sympathetic to their cause, plus they viewed him to be...

Yup. I'm looking forward to the IS leaders debate.

I'm no fan of either and I think Milliband got a far tougher ride. For example he was asked, "Are you a north London geek?" which was pretty disrespectful and unworthy of Paxman. Cameron wasn't asked, "Are you just posh Bullingdon boy?" However, Milliband didn't do well or come across as Prime...

For me that is exactly the point. He looked like he was about to cry at the end, and Paxman's "Are you alright Ed - are you OK?" comment at the end was more telling than any part of the interview proper. Lightweight.

:lolol:

To be fair, the BBC is full of pinko lefties who won't even let their presenters flog underlings to within an inch of their lives if they haven't got a steak ready for them at the end of work.

Oh well. That has just guaranteed a Tory majority. They'll be showing that car crash to politics students for years to come

Did they mean to leave the mike open for that? That comment has completely finished him.

"I don't care" :cry: He's sounding like my 4 year old.

Paxo goes in for the kill now.

Too easy for Paxo now - even he looks embarrassed.

They should stop this now. Its an unfair contest

This is a bit like some of my bollockings at school....

Brave strategy. Trying to out-Paxman Paxman. Dead man walking...

Here we go...

Same here - plus he is getting rattled now and losing his good humour he started out with. Paxo is going to finish him with a KO inside the first 3mins

I'm no fan of Ed but it seems to m he is getting a rougher ride here than Cameron from both the audience and the facilitator

Cameron pissed the audience Q&A. The facilitator was crap and didn't shut him up, letting him take the ball into the corner and run the clock down with every question. I'm sure she'll get a pasting in the press for her ineptitude. If I was in Cameron's team I'd give him 8 /10 for that, up from...

Ed's main issue is that he is not a natural public speaker, regardless of his other qualities. He over rehearses and it sounds like it plus it means he lacks the mental dexterity to debate the issue as it evolves. Consequently he ends up sounding like a Dalek.

If I was Ed I would be shitting my pants right now.
