    but I wouldn't be surprised if Milliband got it since image seems to be all the rage these days. Just look at Cameron for all the proof you need.

    I agree that Cameron and Milliband definitely have an 'image', I just think it's the image of a smarmy tw*t.

    Yes v fanciable, that will be the gravitas :cool:

    Jesus, if Milliband is the yardstick of what is deemed sexy and attractive to women these days then by all rights I should be fighting off women with a stick.

    I think Alan Johnson would be a credible and possibly good Labour party leader. I think he'd probably be a less good Prime minister.

    I don't care, as long as who ever it is is never Prime Minister.

    You think? I see his as just a regular, normal type of guy. The type of chap I wouldn't mind having as my boss (or 'leader'). I think that would make him stand out from the rest of the crown and I think he'd get respect.

    Appreciate it's all a game of opinions though, and we can only judge these people from their media guise. None of us know how they really lead, manage and cope under pressure.

    Maybe Milliband has stuff behind the scenes that sets him apart as a leader. From what I know about him, he's the type of person I'd avoid at parties and call a tw*t on the way home. And I normally tend to like, and see the good points, in most people.

    With the country in the mess it's in I agree with old Merv who said that this will be a one term government. If it's a Lib / Con pact then I could easily see Labour regaining power again at the next election..

    The idea of Miliband (either) Harman or Balls fills me with dread and would probably prevent me voting Labour.

    Couldn't agree more. I like Cruddas, or 2nd choice Johnson. But all in all, I think the country has had enough of New Labour for a good 10 years or so
