Time for Ed to go?

Now most voters, will probably see me to the right, but I have voted labour in the past.

However, in my opinion Ed is not prime ministerial, he just isn't. He might be a nice bloke, but he is an odd ball and I wouldn't trust him in an international crisis.

I know we don't have a presidential system, but would you / could you vote for him.

It would be interested to see, what labour voters on the forum think.

He can't eat a bacon sandwich, therefore he is not fit to lead the country.

NEW LABOUR LEADER SHORTLIST REVEALED:
Anyone.
Literally anyone.
Seriously, anyone.
Absolutely anyone.
For the love of God, anyone.

He has to go, but I think the Labour chaps have left it too late to lead a coup... If they had done that this time last year, I think they would be a shoe in at the next election. If they make him fall on his sword now they just look desperate and lose any veneer of propriety.

Plus there is the added problem of there being no one else from the shadow cabinet who is vaguely electable in a presidential style election...

I see the smart money has just dropped him.

Is it too late for Tony Blair to parachute in to a constituency for one! Last! Comeback!

Unfortunately, I'm inclined to agree that he would get in.

Who, Andy Burnham?

Well, yes. Career political animal and greasy pole climber, never rocks the boat, never went off message because he doesn't have one of his own, looks ever so lovely, doesn't he have a kind face, Mavis?.

You may not have heard, but the Scootch Labour Party are in such a fuckest uppest mess that even Gorgon Broon won't wear that albatross.

Milliband is a champagne socialist and everyone knows it, there's too many toff's in the labour party, needs more working class folk, even if that means bringing prescott back.

Milliband looks like someone totally out of his depth which is bloody frightening when you look at the rest of the pond spawn in the hot seats of their respective parties, Cameron & Clegg.

Jesus, what a buch of nonentities. You remember spitting image with their mock up of John Major (the grey man) but he had more personality than any of the modern lot.

Actually, bring back spitting image

Would anyone even notice if he did go?
That's the real question. He looks like a fresh produce floor manager

Nah. Labour want to throw the next election, they don't want to be left holding the can.

Some serious issues economically need to be addressed, and they can't kick the can down the road much further!

The Unions were short sighted, thinking by doing deals with Ed they could have some control. Of course they should have all got behind the other brother and by not doing so, have shot the party in the foot.

Alan Johnson is eminently more electable than Ed, but he'd be a fool to put in now.

Labour elected the wrong person and having a leadership crisis 7 months before an election is the worst thing they can do.

They must all realise their mistake and shut up and get behind Ed, for the next 7 months at least, to try and avoid a ConKip coalition.

[Clutchy]

Honestly don't think Labour stand a chance They needed to of removed Ed ages ago

The election is going to be an embarrassment for them!
I can certainly sense that a lot of labour voters will be making a long jump across the political spectrum

While I have no intention of voting Labour next year from their perspective I think they should double down and just try and hold on to as many seats as they can, then worry about a new leader for 2020. I very much believe Cameron will be PM this time next year, however if it's another coalition it may or may not be the Lib Dems. People are murmuring UKIP and from some quarters even a Con SNP coalition if Labour get as annihilated in Scotland as some think. IMO that is an outside chance though.
