In May 2010, Labour suffered one of its worst ever election
defeats. A few months later it chose Ed Miliband as its new leader.
His task? To win back power after just one term in opposition - a
tall order given how many voters had come to blame Labour for the
economic mess the country was in, and to see the party as a
soft-touch when it came to immigration and welfare. Even those who
were more sympathetic had their doubts. Was Ed Miliband really
leadership material? Would he be able to overcome defeating his
elder brother to get to the top? Would he have to do as he was told
by the trade union leaders who had helped him win? Could he resolve
the tensions between Blairites and Brownites, Blue Labour and New
Labour? Might his desire to keep his colleagues united mean Labour
stayed stuck in its comfort zone? Would he, in seeking to break
from the party's recent past, take it too far to the left? Could he
offer the electorate something really radical in 2015 or would he
instead choose something safer but ultimately less inspiring? And
what should twenty-first social democracy look like now that the
money had run out? This book, by one of the country's foremost
experts on party politics, seeks to answer all those questions and,
in the run up to the 2015 general election, to ask one more: will
Ed Miliband's five year mission turn out to be 'mission
impossible'?
