LONDON. Of the two Miliband brothers eventually prevailed, and the youngest, the most emphatic, the most progressive of the two sons of art by Ralph Miliband, the Marxist theorist, peace activist, a founder of the New Left Review. With an unexpected comeback and a victory in its fourth round of voting, the first congress of the Labour party after the defeat last May has crowned the former undersecretary of climate change to succeed Gordon Brown as party leader. Defeated his brother David, a more centrist positions, a former foreign minister, Tony Blair considered dolphin and as great as top favorite.
accepting the job in front of hundreds of delegates in the Labour Party Conference Center Manchester, And he promised to change course to return to winning ways after 13 years of government. Having embraced and honored the brother, the new leader has admitted that the party has lost the confidence of the electorate and that the road is uphill. "I know we have to change: today a new generation is in charge of the Labour Party gathers this and call for change," he yelled with his voice a bit 'scratchy. Then he promised a return to the social objectives of the party claiming to want to fight "for the majority of British people working hard, respecting the rules and want a Britain not divided and more prosperous, "arrow to the City that put the country on its knees.
's successor Gordon Brown, who took him in his government, is a man of 40 years with the appearance of eternal youth and the ways a boy from a good family worried about the lower classes. They are not the charisma of a volcano, or a figure of high intellectual caliber. However, Obama to change his message and the promise of new beginnings seem to have well understood the mood of a base that wants to return to traditional values \u200b\u200bfor defense of workers after the turn centrist and flirt with the world of business years blairiani New Labour.
in favor of Ed has also played the fact that it could be presented as a "new man" compared to the Machiavellian brother and sailed. Ed Miliband is returning from his first term and has earned reputation as an honest politician. It has an estimate of ecologists for being one of the main supporters of the radical policy of reducing greenhouse gases continued by Blair and Brown government, and commitment spent (unsuccessfully) to reach a global agreement on climate summit in Copenhagen, December.

Ed Miliband's successor Gordon Brown was especially the unions that have merged their votes en masse for him. His brother David, who also enjoyed the support of most MPs and sections of the local party had the support of only two unions minori. Sulla scorta del sostegno sindacale e dei settori più «movimentisti» del partito, si prevede che ora Ed andrà all'attacco della politica di riduzione del deficit del governo di coalizione liberal-conservatore guidato da David Cameron che sta mettendo a repentaglio diversi servizi pubblici e che rischia di aumentare i disoccupati.
L'elezione di Ed Miliband alla guida del partito giunge all'indomani della nomina dell'ex sindaco di Londra Ken Livingstone, «Ken il rosso» per le sue posizioni socialisti, come futuro sfidante di Boris Johnson, il conservatore che gli è succeduto 2 anni fa. Le vittorie di Livingstone e Miliband, sembrano suggerire un seppur timido ritorno verso la sponda sinistra dell'agone politico, anche per capitalizzare sul dissenso dei lavoratori rispetto alla politica economica del governo Cameron. Così se il New Labour guardava alle classi medie e alla «Middle Britannia», ora il partito si rende conto di doversi riguadagnare la fiducia delle classi popolari, disilluse dalla svolta centrista del partito. Come Ed Miliband ha ripetuto più volte durante la sua campagna per la guida del Labour, «Non possiamo più considerare i lavoratori a basso reddito come nostri elettori automatici. Sono loro che abbiamo perduto e sono loro che dobbiamo recuperare».
