Ed Miliband's narrative

Maurice Glasman has gone on record saying that Labour is adrift and has no narrative.  The truth is that Ed Miliband has developed a narrative. He has spoken at length about the 'squeezed middle' and a more responsible capitalism.

Not everyone will agree about his view of there being two types of capitalism: producing and predator. That though isn't the point.

There are three problems for the leader of the Labour party. The first is that he isn't a natural communicator. Next there is the challenge of convincing voters that a party that has been rejected at the polling booths can be trusted again to make the right economic decisions.

Finally, there is the challenge of the narrative.  Perhaps Ed's stories aren't resonating with the public. Perhaps they are confused by two different stories, one about responsible capitalism and the other about the problems people are currently facing.
