All right, Ed Miliband did what he had to do in cosying up to the unions. It was enough to get him elected. Only just.
Much comment this evening assumes that this makes him the creature of the unions.
Is it beyond the imagination of journalists that Ed may have said what he had to say in order to get himself elected leader, and will now say what he has to say in order to get himself elected Prime Minister?
Brother David never was leadership material. He's a trimmer, who lacks the killer instinct.
By contrast, Ed grabbed this chance. We'll know fairly soon if he's a ruthless opportunist.
Perhaps the unions will be in for a shock. After all, Ed's now the only Labour leader they've got. If he starts to change his positions, they have nowhere else to go.
But that is what would get him elected as Prime Minister.

Nice comment John - With all the adulation and criticism in the media it seems the majority are unable to look beyond their noses.
