Ed Balls has lost the Labour Leadership

You may think I am being a tad presumptive with this title, but I believe I will be proved correct. I think it is generally accepted, especially judging by media coverage, that it is now a two horse race between the Milibands. Below I am going to layout three key reasons why Labour are going to drop the Ball's:

1) He has the personality of a Ballbag

Labour have only just got rid of one leader who they had to keep away from people, do they want another? No. I am not saying Ed Balls is a moody bully like Brown was, but lets face it - he is a smug Ballbag. I remember watching election night, all the MP's conducted their victories very well, except one man who really Balls'd it up...Ed Balls.


2) He was far too close to the man that balls'd it up

I know this is kind of a given, but come on lets face it he is used goods, tarnished by a disliked PM who then made a 'Balls-up' of the election. It is a fact that Blair still has a following (look at his book sales), Brown does not. Brown's following consists of Ed Balls. Labour wants to win, I think they no they need to step away from Brown and push closer to Blair. Win back that 'Middle England'.

3) He will never 'Ball over' the voters

No wonder Brown didn't win when he had this Ed Ballbag aiding him the whole time. As the Miliband's continued to show that this is a two horse race, there was opportunity for a huge statement and a last push for Ed Balls. Instead, he seemed to infact lack his pair of 'Balls'. There was no brave and bold statement, instead there was this: "We've had a daily soap opera of one Miliband brother or the other, with their supporters or non-supporters, commenting here and there"
He basically stated that all the media is covering is the Milibands, that is actually the same as saying it is a two horse race and he is not in. Nobody votes for the man that cries "It's not fair!"
