Another excellent piece of writing from Philip Gould
Another excellent piece of writing from Philip Gould, a quote of his from the book should never be forgotten.
" It infuriates me to hear progressive politicians with comfortable lifestyles pouring scorn on hardworking people who dare to aspire to little of the same. "
My hopes are that Ed Miliband has read this book, it's a bible and a road map of political change, how a political party refused to change with the times and ended up down a cul-de-sac of defeat time and time again. It's also clear from reading the book while some may stride to become a leader, it does not follow the wider populace share their self beliefs, a true leader is one which creates excitement and energy and the desire for change. Tony Blair was such a leader. Philip Gould in this book maps it all out and asks those different questions and also gives the answers. I can understand why he was held in such high regard by all political groups.
