The Guardian has chosen to support right of centre David Miliband for the labour leadership. Now considering it is the right to far right of centre policies that got Labour kicked out of office does the Guardian really think that David Miliband is the man to regain Labours lost support?
I would not agree he is a self evident career politician -ok they all are but his desire is more obvious than most- who will say anything to get elected. He would most likely be a Tony Blair II not quite the same policies but certainly the same superficial charm on the service but an amoral machine underneath unable to think of people as individuals with their own dreams and desires and completely unable to grasp the reality that these dreams and desires may be different from his own just like his old master Blair. Finally how can the Guardian a supposed liberal paper support fro Labour leadership a man who as foreign secretary spent his time lying about government complicity in torture and defending the Iraq war. Is this really the man they want as Labour leader and presumably future prime minister?
