Ed Miliband

It would be nice if the Labour party had a more charismatic leader.

On the other hand, the last time they had one of those it was Tony Blair.

True, but do you really want it to be Ed Balls or his missus?

I think Balls is terribly unappetizing. I'm not sure about Cooper; she seems focused and steely.

But there are other candidates, surely?

There's a lot of talk about "the next generation", which probably means they'll wait until Miliband drives off a cliff next year before making their move.

I wonder who they are these bright young people: have any of them led "real" lives?

Haha well said. I've heard Cooper speak and she was inspiring. But I so wish our party leaders were grey haired and wise and had knocked around in the real world a bit.
