I find the idea that had David Miliband won the Labour leadership in 2010 that the Party would have faired substantially better in 2015 to be strange. He shares a lot of the same flaws with his brother in his public demeanour and the policies would have been worse.

Only five of Britain’s post-war PMs have not held postgraduate degrees. Three of which (Churchill, Callaghan and Major) never attended university. Brown was the only one of those that did attend university not to go to Oxford as well as the only PM to attain a PhD.

The math didn’t really math, but Cameron was also just a much better personal match for Clegg anyways. Clegg was to the right of his party economically, and Cameron was to the left of his socially. So invariably a good deal of overlap. 🤷♂️
Why did Nick Clegg, former leader of the Liberal Democrats, opt for a coalition with the Tories instead of Labour in the 2010 election? 🤔

I think this sums up the 2010 and 2015 GEs for Labour.

At the next GE, the Tories face the serious prospect of dropping to 150 - 200 MPs in most moderate scenarios.
The ramifications of this in the future leadership of the Party will be huge.
For not only do they face having a diminished presence / relevance …

Same challenge, but this time for those of you inclined to the Liberals (this site has proved to me that you exist). You have 15 points to appoint a PM, Chancellor, Foreign Sec, Home Sec, Health Sec & Education Sec.

Campaign review so far
Keir Starmer 7/10 - Minimised blunders and generally looked Prime Ministerial and relatable.
Ed Davey 6/10 - Playing the fool for publicity, but has done well when given it.
Nigel Farage 6/10 - Dominated campaign for a week, but tailed off a bit.

This is likely bait, but it still annoys me every time I see it.
Churchill was undoubtedly a strong figurehead throughout the war, for which he deserves credit, but he certainly didn’t win it. Also, this disregards Attlee’s immense contribution to the war effort too.
Churchills reward for winning WW2 was losing in a massive landslide
