Labour Surrender

Two very interesting articles about Ed Miliband forgetting the deficit and the media reaction to it:
Is Britain Suffering Under The Strain Of Too High A Deficit?

I despair at Labour's cowardly behaviour towards the economy. The Tory economic strategy is a proven failure, just because the media can't bring themselves to admit it is no reason to go along with it. Aping the Tories self-hating government, cutting back when investment is needed will never lead to victory. Labour will never be trusted to be more vicious than the Tories, and any support for Tory failures will only help the Tories.

Now is the time to bring the media to account, and be strong about the right way to tackle the economy. Now is the time to bring forward a positive plan for the future. Fear mongering encourages selfish actions, which increases Tory support. Labour needs to embrace a positive view of the future, invite the population to embrace a brighter future. Unfortunately I don't see Ed Miliband or Ed Balls having the self confidence to pursue this, they are chasing shadows with the media and will always come off second best.
