British Labour takes a turn to the left

[Deleted]

Well, the suspense has ended at last and Ed Miliband managed to take control of the Labour Party.

Round 1: David Miliband 37.78%, Ed Miliband 34.33% Diane Abbott eliminated
Round 2: David Miliband 38.89%, Ed Miliband 37.47%. Andy Burnham eliminated
Round 3: David Miliband 42.72%, Ed Miliband 41.26%, Ed Balls eliminated
Round 4: David Miliband 49.35%, Ed Miliband 50.65%. Ed Miliband wins.

I just hope that the brothers do not become enemies.

Hey, the UK is part of Europe in my book!

But not in theirs..., something I sometimes admire and sometimes don't understand.

So Ed Milliband is the new Labour leader, what is his older brother doing now?

He was supposed to be part of the "team" at first, but I think he has backed away a bit, probably lying in wait to take advantage of any problems.
