I can't claim to know much about politics, but Ed Miliband just seems unelectable. There is quite a lot about him that says to me that he won't be PM, he just doesn't seem right. I think this will just leave the Tories with a nice large majority in the next election, despite the hatred of the cuts (which I don't think go far enough anyway) because he is not the kind of candidate who is going to take voters from the Tories


he doesnt actually need to take voters from the Tories actually, 35% of the electorate didnt vote at the last election, plus the Lib Dems are on 13% atm in some polls, by getting more people to vote and just taking Lib Dem votes would get him pretty close, floating voters are always a factor to boot, no reason they wouldnt switch to him from Cameron if all they care about is presentation.

The lower the voter turn out the more likely a Conservative/Tory government will win the election. Young people and lower classes do not vote as frequently as engaged upper educated aristocrats who always vote for the Tories.
