Yes unless he wins the next General Election outright.

I was thinking about now not after the election Jan, seems a decent chap but completely distant from his party's core support.
I cringe when I watch him flailing around and looking silly, I cannot imagine him as Prime Minister.

I dread to think of him as Prime Minister he just does not have the right sort of gravitas.

I'd hardly call him a decent chap. It's the likes of him and his fellow sixth formers who want to take this country to a British version of all things soviet.
One can only hope he keeps his job in the same way Foot, Kinnock and other extreme lefties did just at the right time - during a general election. It's all we can hope for.

Perhaps we can get Simon Cowell to organise a reality programme to choose the next leader?

The general consensus is that it is too close to the election to change leaders but Yvette Cooper and Andy Burnham are frontrunners to take over afterwards. I can't visualise either as Prime Minister.

Can't stand Yvette Cooper always turn her off when she is on tv, at least Andy Burnham does not annoy me in the same way.

Wasn't it Andy Burnham who left a note at the at the end of the outgoing (Labour) Government, saying something like "Sorry, there's no money left".

As I said they should have given the job of leader to his brother David he was a very good talker and a better all rounder.

Can't remember who it was Roger but it wasn't Andy Burnham he was Health secretary.

The campaign against him is working if the polls are correct, Sky TV and the Tory press will be delighted.

I know it has all come to the fore now but can any of you honestly say you ever thought of ED as prime ministerial material, I know I never have.
