Tony Blair doubts Ed Miliband can win 2015 general election

Mr Angry · 31-12-2014, 00:49

"Tony Blair has cast doubt on the likelihood of Labour leader Ed Miliband winning the next election, saying it could well be a contest that repeats previous Conservative victories against a traditional leftwing party

The former Labour prime minister has until now disputed reports that he does not believe Miliband can win in May.

However, he told the Economist that the result might well be an election “in which a traditional leftwing party competes with a traditional rightwing party, with the traditional result”.

"Breaking news" over at the Cardigan is that Blair says his comments have been "Misinterpreted". There's a surprise!

Miliband surely couldn't be any worse than Blair himself was.

Well he clearly can. Blair knew how to win elections. His instinct to keep Brown away from No 10 was probably wise as well.

Damage done he now backtracks.

Classic sociopath Blair.

Bliar should learn to keep his big mouth shut, shame he did not do that when he sent good men to there deaths in Iraq.

I refer to a Mr Andrew Cooper on Twitter:

If Blair sees public owned railways and #NHS, a living wage & not licking the <EDITED>backsides</EDITED> of City bankers as 'too left wing' he should join #UKIP.

Clearly Ed could be a bigger warmongering liar with even more blood on his hands but it's unlikely thankfully.
