As a lifelong labour supporter I've seen some Turkeys, and then loved every minute of the whole Tory William Hague/Ian Duncan Smith/Michael Howard shambles, but...

BUT... Ed ****ing Milliband. Lord, give me strength. My 4 year old daughter would make a better fist of being 'Leader of the Opposition' than that poncey half-wit

Somebody give him a bottle of whiskey and a revolver. Its pathetic to witness. And perfect timing. Just when we don't really need someone with a bit of authority challenging the government. His brother looked like the work experience kid. He can only dream of measuring up to such lofty descriptions.

Your nominations please.....

Who bears an uncanny resemblance in looks, mannerisms and ability to do anything to Mr Bean.

Ed Milliband? Oh yeah, almost forgot about him. Have we ever had a more low profile leader of the opposition. One can only hope that he is secretly plotting a masterstroke that will kill off "Call Me" Dave and "Blowjob anyone?" Nick in one fell swoop. Sadly though, I doubt it. I like to think that he is still rather bewildered over how he managed to pull off winning the leadership contest in the first place.

Ed is really very bad. Watch him flopping around like a dead fish on the strikes today, just awful. Doesn't dare to have an opinion, "Well the strikers are bad but so is the government". He's trying to do the David Cameron say nothing then you can never be wrong thing, but he's useless at it.

Blair was shoddy. Hitler was incredibly succesful as a party leader, just not so good at the not murdering people thing, then not good enough at the conquering the world.

Thatcher was a demon-possesed s**tec**t but I suppose she was a good leader.

Ed Milliband seems absolutely bewildered that he's a party leader. The rest of the labour party know it and are having nowt to do with him, so they can bide their time for the inevitable leadership contest, which.. please god... happens before they lose the next election

I know, I'll be decisive. I'll anounce 30 different 'policy reviews' to form what kind of opinion I'm meant to have on stuff. Embarrassing. IDS looks like Churchill in comparison

Emperor Justinian. Controversial.

I guess the jury's still out on Nick Clegg then. Halving his party's support overnight obviously doesn't cut the mustard.

Michael Foot is the most useless political leader in my lifetime - and it's not close. Great man, but eminently useless leader of a mainstream political party.

If you subscribe to various conspiracy theories that he was installed by progressive labour MPs to kill the socialist wing of the party, the longest suicide note in history etc, then he wasn't useless at all from that PoV.

Don't be mean to Nick, you'll make him sad

Although joking aside, I wouldn't be surprised of clegg dropped down dead, or turns Kilroy-Silk mad, he looks utterly **** these days

Ed Milliband, pathetic and wet. God knows what Labour thought in voting in him as leader when others would have been better suited to lead them back into power.
George Bush and the evil twins; Gordon Brown and Tony Blair all leaders by some freak of nature that we will all suffer from for decades to come.

very funny thread guys. obviously we all know anybody elected to public office has to be next to useless at everything. the concept that someone is a genius because they belong to one party and yet another is an idiot because they belong to a different party is as ridiculous as suggesting one football team is in some way superior to another because they're called united rather than city.

good stuff. keep it coming.

Nasty, sad little man.

And this guy:

Of whom it was famously said:
1. That he was so stupid he couldn't fart and chew gum at the same time.
&
2. That he'd spent too much time playing football without a helmet.

Michael Foot being 'useless' as party leader

Worth listening to - I only wish we could still hear this sort of stuff

Foot was a great orator, but in a PR, image concious world he was a disastrous choice for leader.

I think that Justinian was pretty effective as an Emperor.

My money would be on Thatcher. She may have got what she wanted so successful on that level, but took the UK backwards culturally, economically, morally etc about 250 years, so staggeringly unsuccessful on a wider level.

Trotsky ended up pretty ineffective too once Stalin got him in his sights. Not sure if he counts as a prty leader though.

Thatcher was never useless. Very easy to disagree with her policies but she was visionary in much of what she did and had more balls and conviction than any of the shower we have had since.
