The New Statesman editorial endorsing Ed Miliband for Labour leader described the decision to invade Iraq as “a great wrong, a moral failure”. His brother’s support for the war, it implied, was one of the reasons he does not qualify to be the change candidate that Labour and Britain needs. But the British voter is not an especially moral creature. If it was just a matter of right or wrong, however great, David Miliband might lose my vote as well as the NS‘s support, but he would certainly remain capable of winning an election.
