Is there any chance of Miliband stepping down before the election?

Why would he do that?  How often do leaders resign before running in any election as leader?

Then there's the Julia Gillard/Kevin Rudd thing in Australia...

But I guess it is possible...

Probably not that much.  Nordic social democrats have been better at understanding that an overemphasis on taxing the rich alone doesn't raise that much revenue.

How popular is the mansion tax idea?  On the one hand, I can see it as a popular "tax the rich" scheme; on the other hand, I can see it "that's my nest egg and what if they tax me?" attitudes prevailing.

In Canada, there was a laughably silly attempt in the social democratic New Democratic Party to exploit Obama's popularity in Canada and drop the "New" from the party name.  Fortunately that idea failed.

Providing stable government when the country needed it, not foolish

Even at the cost of the Lib Dems losing 2/3 of their vote?
