Thank you Mr Ed

I sometimes think that a country run by Mr Ed (the horse) would be a better place to live. One would imagine that MPs and Ministers saying anything at the moment would be risky and that they should say as little as possible.

I had one of those warm feelings listening to Radio 4 this morning. Not one of those nice warm feelings of a cup of coco on a cold day but the warm feeling you get when your pet puppy decided its time to have a pee on your lap. That moment of disbelief and disgust followed by the need for a shower.

This morning Ed Milliband was being interviewed. As usual the topic of Gordon Brown came up. Ed was very supportive. The whole of the Labour party was right behind Gordon, there were no contenders for leader and no vacancy. He went on to point out that they had no intention of triggering an election and a catastrophic loss to the Tories who he thought had no idea how to lead the country out of these difficult issues.

Bravo Ed.

Let's just run that again in slow motion. You do not want to change leader as it would trigger an election and nobody would vote for them and would vote for the Tories.

Even slower,
You know that the people of this country do not want you as government and you do not want to go to the vote as you would lose.

And even slower
Knowing the population does not want you to govern them anymore, you want to avoid giving them the power to do what you and they know they want. I.e. ignore democracy. You do not think democracy is worth it if it means people vote the wrong way.

And in detail. Everyone will vote for the Tories. Ed does not think they are good (they are not Labour). Ed knows better than the whole population so lets not let them have a vote. What do the population know after all.

Ed, FUCK YOU.
