Without wanting to judge the merits of any of the seven political Leaders in the televised Debate last night, it seems that the technique used by Ed Miliband to get his message across is already well known in France !
He hammered home his message of what he would do if he became Prime Minister. To do this he has simply copied the technique used by François Hollande in the now famous last minutes of the last Debate, against outgoing President Sarkozy in the May 2012 Presidentials.
Hollande stunned Sarkozy when he said about 17 times in two minutes "I as President will..." and reeled off a series of promises !
Sarkozy was completely poleaxed and Hollande became the new President a few days later ! That was three years ago. Hollande reneged on his promises afterwards and at present France is in a complete mess for a number of reasons !
Ed Miliband seems to have got his timing wrong ! It is not in the first round of debates that this technique is best used. It is right at the end of all the debates, when there is little time left to counter such an attack, that this technique is best used !
Ed Miliband seems to have jumped the gun ! Or, is he hiding something even better ?
