Did Labour elect idiot Ed because he offered marginally more to the unions than his brother?

Strange, Labour were against AV but now they've changed their tune, a lot of their opposition seems to be for oppositions sake like a bunch of silly schoolboys, a lot of things they've opposed were similar policies to their own or extensions of things they started, it would be far more statesmanlike if they backed things that were good for the country or were close to their own ideas, at the moment I have no respect for them at all!
