Don't you think that standing in opposition to his brother - when his brother was being touted as the new Leader - shows just a streak of ambition (and malice) ?
JK2006	My respect for him increased when he turned to Harman and said "what are you clapping for? You voted for it" about the Iraq war. At least the guy is honest (if wrong).
veritas	I'm a great one for going on first feelings. I've never warmed to David-he exudes something that seems like pure ambition to me. I don't believe his brother Ed does. However I would never go on press reports. They really are beating up the idea that there is animosity between the two. I think there is probably intense disappointment with David...let's face it-it's all over for him. He cannot oppose his own brother. And he won't despite that the media would love an brotherly battle. I'm excited. Ed will surprise you.
Chris Retro	Two reasons: 1. He is a spineless knob, and not only that but a knob without family loyalty, which means he is also a shark of the highest order. 2. "Self Preservation" - he will now distance himself from his brother politically in order to get a "second bite at the cherry" when that moment arises, ie he doesn't want to do a "William Hague" and spunk his chance to lead one day by alligning himself with a regime who will, at this stage, doubtless fail to win an election Of course if the British Public are stupid enough to take the platitudes of Ed to their hearts and Labour gain the favour of the electorate sooner then expected then Big Brother will no doubt slither back into "frontline" politics
Plissken	One can't help thinking that he's acting like a big baby. Not that I'll miss him, of course. He's a spineless jellyfish, and, let's face it, a bit of a knob.
