The problem with Ed Miliband is that we’re supposed to
believe he’s a credible world statesman, a politician who can represent Britain
and British interests on the world stage.
And it’s not like he has a huge weight of expectation on his
shoulders either: the last two Labour Prime Ministers were Tony Blair and
Gordon Brown, one of them a war criminal, and the other a Scottish man who was
so unpopular that God produced a Biblical flood to wipe him out.
The other problem with Miliband is that in a world where
media image is increasingly important, he has a look of continual befuddlement,
like he just doesn’t understand what is going on and what his part in it is.
Drink a pint, Ed. He looks ridiculous. Eat a bacon sandwich, Ed. He looks
ridiculous. Look like a normal bloke, Ed. He looks ridiculous. Kidnap George
Osbourne, dress him in rubber, put you in a Gingham dress, then simulate sex
acts with each other in the window of Selfridges on Oxford Street, Ed. He still looks
ridiculous. He can’t even get those basic things right.
Ed Miliband just doesn’t look the part. A world statesman?
You have to be joking! Running the country? Please! He’d look out of his depth
as the assistant manager of the tie department of Grace Brothers in Are You
Being Served. Right? Probably. But that's also because we're obsessed with how he looks and how he comes across in the media.
Because unless you want another five
years of repugnant, privileged, wealth-shitting former Etonians like Cameron and
Osbourne, people who view any form of compassion for the poor like it was a
turd that won’t flush in the bowl of the only fully functioning toilet at a dinner party for oligarchs, then you have to put all those media-contructed opinions about Miliband presenting themselves as facts aside and
vote for him.
Because if it’s a choice between people who blatantly don’t
care for anyone except their rich mates, or a bloke who clearly does care but
just looks a bit crap doing it in front of a camera, then I know which one I will be
voting for.
And it’s not that smug cunt, David Cameron.
