Are ABers so different from the General Public ?

[modeller]

Todays survey on the party leaders shows that most people think as follows:

Cameron : Determined ,Competent,Ruthless.
Ed Miliband : Out of his depth .Weird, Lucky.
Nick Clegg : Weak, Calculating, Indecisive.

I wonder why these opinions are so different from many/most of us ABers.
You need to read the whole article to see the pros and cons and how, where and when the survey was carried out, but I for one don't agree with any of them.

I don't know much about David Miliband . Can anyone tell me how David would differ from his brother ?

[TWR]

Stronger, to the point, firm, positive.

[emmie]

stronger, more politically astute, aware, and a far better speaker. Ed'a whiny tones put people off, and he does waffle, he reminds me of the welsh windbag kinnock.

[modeller]

I never liked Kinnock , Blair or Ted Heath ! They had one thing in common they smiled too much . I don't trust politicians who smile all the time . They can never be trusted.

As these leaders have so much influence and so much power we need to change the system so that the public can vote for a leader. Since President Blair we have seen a new twist in politics especially global events.

So Modeller you judge the leaders of our country on how much they smile?

Presumably you were a big fan of Gordon Brown then?

Or was that not enough smiling?

Is it a Goldilocks thing you have going on there?

[modeller]

I would certainly trust Brown more than the other three. What he said, he believed in, and carried it out . The others assure you of their sincerity with a smile and put the knife in as soon as your back was turned. They are false and shallow.
