Ed Miliband is finished, he is in so many difficult situations that aren't disappearing, such as:
1. Rotherham, recently came to light that over 1,400 children had been sexually groomed from 1997 until 2013.
Turns out Rotherham council turned a blind eye towards the abused children as the abusers were from ethnic minority backgrounds, and didn't want to be seen as being racist, ahhhh....
(Here is an independent inquiry into the Rotherham abuse http://www.rotherham.gov.uk/downloads/file/1407/independent_inquiry_cse_in_rotherham )
2. New Labour, people haven't forgotten the economic mess the last government plunged us into, in fact, as much as Ed Miliband tries to distance himself, New Labour is lurking in the background, waiting to make another appearance.
3. English Votes for English Laws, is a no go area for Labour, especially as England is predominantly a centre-right country. Of course they will oppose this.
4. EU referendum, people aren't happy with how the EU are treating us here in Britain, and we want a say, however Ed Miliband is acting deaf and dumb, and our calls for a say in the way our country is being treated is falling on deaf ears, only David Cameron is offering us a say.
In fact, Labour were offered to set a quota in the first seven years of the EU, but decided against it as they thought only 20,000 immigrants would be coming over, how naive.
5. Benefit fraud was hug under the last Labour government, over £1 billion was lost due to fraud. However, you ask any person who considers themselves left of centre, and this lost money is no big deal, I'm not sure the families who genuinely need their benefits would feel the same.
6. Overspending, a dogma that has followed Labour since the very beginning, Watching Labour spend, is like watching a 16 year old girl being given a credit card to spend, then looking shocked when it's been blocked, and now needs paying off.
If Labour want to prove they truly are the "people's party", and that they've learnt lessons from the past, get a back bone and give us a say in what happens to our country, and stop spending so much, when have you ever heard of someone becoming rich through overspending?
As a "centre-left" Liberal I do have a problem with people defrauding £1bn out of the state. Personally I think they're stealing it from the people who really do need the help.
