The labour Leader thread...

Let's list the major newspapers (by circulation) in Britain and which party they supported during this election:

The Sun - Conservatives
The Daily Mail - Conservatives
The Mirror - Labour
Evening Standard - Conservatives
The Telegraph - Conservatives
The Daily Express - UKIP
The Daily Star - Conservatives
The Times - Conservatives
The Guardian - Labour
The Independent - Con/LibDem coalition

There's definitely a right-wing bias in the printed press. However, online-only organisations like the Huffington Post did mostly come out in favour of Labour.

Now, in the context of the post to which you've replied, do some simple maths and you'll find less than 5% of the readership read Murdoch press
 
Which is exactly what Miliband was.

Milliband was anything but strong!


The way he claimed "Hell Yes!" underlined to the country that a choice of him equated to "Hell No!"

He was weak, deluded and clueless.
We need strong opposition, he didn't give us it.
 
No surprise here.

Chuka Umunna has announced he will stand.

He is also very critical of Miliband, shame he didn't have the courage to speak up before the election.

Nothing like a bit of Tory arrogance

he's not wrong - jarvis looked the only electable one in that shower of idiots.
 
I'm sure I will be vilified for this and called a racist but the thought of a Prime Minister of Britain being called Chuka Umunna just seems, well for want of a better word....wrong. I know, I know, its not a politically correct thing to say, but to me it feels as wrong as having a UK King called Joey or Queen called Britney, or the Russian leader being called Gary Brown, or the leader of France being called Franz Von Schmidt or Spain being led by Thomas Mcleish.
 
Or the US President being called Barack Obama?

Yup or that one. Like I say, I know its not the "right" thing for me to think, but I'm not going to lie about my thoughts. Just doesn't seem right. I'd say the same if William had chosen to call his son Joey, King Joey the first :)
 
Or the US President being called Barack Obama?

Or Barack Hussein Obama, with emphasis on his middle name, if you're very right wing and want to perpetuate the conspiracy theory that he is not a US citizen and is a muslim.

Chuka Umunna is probably more electable than David Lammy, at least he's much more credible.

Its not the right thing to say but more than that its a strange thing to say. Is this entirely based on a name? Would it be OK if he was John Smith with the same heritage? Would you feel better if he now changed his name to something that you feel is more british?

I'm struggling to see your point really.
