Strange but true: the Cameroons are wary of a Labour Party led by David Miliband. The
Guardian’s Nick Watt has been eavesdropping and he’s gathered a few choice quotes. Kool-aid
drinking Tories say:
“David Cameron said the candidate he hoped for was Ed Miliband, and the candidate he most feared was David Miliband.”
“On the whole we would prefer if Ed Miliband won. His analysis that Labour has to go for a traditional Labour vote, rather than the middle classes, is absolutely wrong. The Ed Miliband analysis will lead them into big trouble.”
In spite of his best efforts, David Miliband is likely to win. But, as I wrote on the occasion of his self-proclaimed epoch defining speech, the elder Miliband does not look or sound like a Prime Minister in waiting – David Cameron certainly did in 2005.
