To the people saying they are glad Ed won and that they liked him best, are you basing that on anything? Very view of the electorate know anything about him. Having met the man and discussed issues of concern with him, I left thoroughly unimpressed. He was worse than useless. He gives glib comments with no substance, probably so that his comments can't be challenged.
This man is hardly a worthy ambassador for his country: he doesn't look like a serious politician and he doesn't speak with any authority or knowledge. That's hardly surprising considering his experience. For whatever reason he has been handed power. I can only assume it is because the people who placed him there felt he was the candidate who could be most easily manipulated.
Whilst he will have his own agenda which his new position will allow him to further, I'm glad he got the Labour leadership. It makes Labour even more unelectable and provides Cameron and Clegg more time to sort out the mess 'New Labour' got Britain into.
