Every Tuesday (well starting from last week) I have decided to share my political views every Tuesday. This Tuesday's post is my personal views on why I think David Miliband should be the next Labour Leader (and hopefully the next Prime Minister).
I have said this before and I will say it again. Ever since there were rumblings that Gordon Brown was going to step down as party leader my first thought was David Miliband has got to be the guy for the job. I think David Miliband can be a strong party leader. David Miliband currently has more party endorsements.
You can hear what David Miliband's vision for the party is here.
I think David Miliband will be great as the next party leader, and god willing, the next PM for the following reasons:
He has experience on foreign policy.
Is the only person in the leadership running who can give David Cameron a run for his money.
As shown above he has clear views of where he wants to move the party forward.
He is youthful which will hopefully increase more younger voters voting Labour.
I'm sure other Labour voters all have there own views on who they think should win the leadership race. My vote is for David Miliband. For a brighter future.
To be honest though, all of the points you have just made you could easily say for Ed Miliband too except in addition, Ed has the ability and drive to move us a step away from the centre politics of New Labour and bring a different approach to the labour movement. Also, you're point about David's experience on foreign policy is very true, even more the reason for him to stay as Shadow Foreign Secretary.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Giles. I personally just don't see Ed Miliband as a leader though I'm afraid. Though glad to hear your views on another candidate.
