Got to say I agree with the vast majority of your post.
Your assessment of Ed Balls is 'on the ball' - but by the same token how has George Osborne been allowed to oversee the UK's financial matters?
Truly beggars belief.
Miliband lacks charisma and has little credibility in the eyes of the electorate.
And any half-serious student or observer of current affairs has noticed his total inability to capitalise on the numerous short-comings of the current
administration.
I personally just can't envisage him being a strong and positive presence for the UK on the international stage.- Hollande, Merkel et al would eat
him alive.
Labour are devoid of new ideas and lack direction - a deliberate ploy?
It's a national disgrace the number of Oxbridge / Old Etonians etc that dominate our party political system.
It's a damning indictment of the UK that these public school boys infest every influential level of UK society as a whole - they are as removed from
the everyday concerns and lives of the vast majority of people of the UK as can be possible and promote their own vested interests above anything and
everything else.

13 years of miss management cannot be rectified in 3 plus years
First of all, they aren't rectifying it they are compounding it.
And secondly I'm sure the previous government would have argued that they spent most of their time dealing with the serial mis-management they
inherited from the 18 years of Thatcher and Major's Premiership's.
It's all about playing the 'blame game' and taking their turn on the merry-go-round whilst in reality doing absolutely nothing for the UK
electorate.
