MILLIBAND SNATCHES DEFEAT FROM THE JAWS OF VICTORY

Ed’s stirring, gracious speech, which brought tears to my eyes was in defeat. The pollsters, (not the bookies), always get it wrong because they don’t understand the psychology of British voters at that critical moment of voting – which is so simple.

The Party that captures the middle ground, le grand boulevard, always wins.

This Tony Blair understood and exploited. Red Ed was perceived, rightly or wrongly, as being old doctrinaire, leftwing Labour sponsored by the Trade Unions and, whatever you or I may think, this is the surefire route to electoral defeat.

The British sacred cow, the National Health Service, Ed’s total focus is, as the brit voter knows dependent on a strong economy – Cameron’s message.

That is the simple truth and it ain’t rocket science. If further proof is needed, look at the defeat of Big Beast Balls.

Remember Bill Clinton’s election winning mantra « it’s about the economy stupid. » To win, the Labour Party has to seize  the middle ground and not put their (Michael) Foot in their mouth.

A gallant loser indeed, who snatched defeat, from the jaws of victory – You get NOWT for finishing second in politics.It could have been the Tory-lite David Cameron waving goodbye.

A MACBETH MOMENT – LOSER ED WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR FRATRICIDE.
