In the aftermath of Labour's third successive defeat at the 1959 election, a famous pamphlet asked the question: "Must Labour lose?" Today, the temptation is similar fatalism.
The odds are against us, no question. But I still believe we can win the next election. I agree with Jack Straw that we don't need a summer of introspection. The starting point is not debating personalities but winning the argument about our record, our vision for the future and how we achieve it.
New Labour won three elections by offering real change, not just in policy but in the way we do politics. We must do so again. So let's stop feeling sorry for ourselves, enjoy a break, and then find the confidence to make our case afresh.
Miliband foi directo e conciso, do que está em causa nas próximas legislativas. Porém, para o Labour ganhar, Brown não pode ser o rosto dos trabalhistas.
