I came out think I know now what Ed Miliband isn't, but rather less sure about what he is. I agree he has a rather likeable unflashyness about him, which makes a nice change from the careful control of Blair and Cameron. The problem is that there is really nothing radical in there. It is all 'we're not as bad as the Tories', rather than any major shift. The tuition fees was a case in point - radical headlining would be to seriously cut or even remove tuition fees by, say, reducing undergrad courses to two intensive years. But no, instead it is 'cutting' them to only double what they used to be, instead of the Coalition's tripling. As for anything else significant, the major headline seemed to be 'we will rein in business and high salaries'. Then witness the furious backpedalling this morning when there was the perception that he had offended business. I am just not seeing any opposition. No real alternative.
