Milibands

Does it matter which Miliband wins the Labour leadership election? Despite the fact that David can hardly be said to have been an outstanding Foreign Secretary and cannot  be said to have judgment and guts  following his failure to seek a leadership election against Brown he is at least a known quantity. Ed though looks more gutsy standing as he has against his brother. I say a plague on both their houses as it matters not one tittle or iota which of the two wins as they are both going to have to follow the same line. Whatever the outcome, which everyone now seems to think will result in the younger brother being elected, democracy will be the loser because of the insane Labour party voting system. Only on the left can you have more than one vote depending on which sub-section of the party you belong to. It would of course be more logical and in that sense fairer (that childish whinge again) if in General Elections those who paid more in taxes had a corresponding greater number of votes. Would the brothers agree to that? Not bloomimg likely! Which makes them hypocrites. Would the LibDems support that? I suppose they might so long as they did not have to pay anything back!
