  I have just heard on the news that Ed Milliband is to wed in May, congratulations to him.
  
  Do you think this is because he wanted to get married or is he bowing to public pressure.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  Does it really matter?
  
  I dont think there is a great deal of public pressure over whether he is married or not and quite frankly most people don't really care. Those who might care are probably not likely to vote Labour anyway whether he is married or not.
  
  There are far more important issues surrounding his 'leadership' of Labour than his marital status.

  This is clearly the season for weddings, there seems to be a number of people catching the bug and following the road to eternal bliss!
  
  We have that other wedding too, what is it now errmmmm let me see... oh yes the Royal couple Kate and Wills, which seems to be exciting everybody but me. Then we have the other royal Sara whatshername marrying the rugby star. And now Ed has leapt headlong into committment..crumbs!! Where will it all end.
  
  There must be some tax breaks to be had!!
  
  Innocent looking Ed will at least get some good headlines out of it. Bet his poll rating shoots up.

  i think he is tidying things up, there were a lot of snide digs at him in the right wing press.
  
  in other words yes bowing to pressure.

  Alan, no offence hun but you're sounding like Victor Meldrew
  There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".
