Poll: Lib Dem voters warming to Ed Miliband
Research conducted after Ed Miliband's conference speech suggest that Lib Dems are responding well to the new leader.
During his speech at party conference, Ed Miliband appeared to strongly hint to disaffected Lib Dems that they should come over to Labour, by focusing on issues such as civil liberties and Iraq.
Harriet Harman later made this appeal explicit.
New polling by PoliticsHome suggests that natural Lib Dem supporters have indeed received the new leader warmly, but that there is more work to do in convincing Conservatives and non aligned voters.
Which brother would be best?
Asked which Miliband brother would have been the best choice as leader, Lib Dems were the only group to clearly favour Ed: thirty four per cent thought he was the best choice compared to twenty seven per cent who would have preferred David.
Labour supporters were divided, while Conservative and non aligned voters favoured David.
Ed Miliband narrowly defeated his brother David to win the Labour leadership contest. Would you personally have preferred David or Ed to win?
Iraq admission
Miliband’s statement that the Iraq war was wrong went down well both with both his own party supporters and Lib Dem leaning voters. Almost half of each of these groups said they now had more respect for him. About a third of non aligned voters also had more respect for the leader, but Conservatives were more likely to have less respect.
In his speech, Ed Miliband also said about Iraq: 'I do believe that we were wrong. Wrong to take Britain to war and we need to be honest about that.'
Does this admission make you have more or less respect for Ed Miliband than you did previously?
PoliticsHome interviewed 1,023 adults by email from 29 September - 1 October 2010. Results are weighted by age, gender and political party identification to reflect the population of Great Britain.

what a load of tosh and what a load of lemmings for believing Ed the liar. he voted against an inquiry into the Iraq war - so simply saying the war was 'wrong' doesn't quite cut the mustard. If he really thinks its wrong then we should say it was 'illegal' and a 'war crime'

Anyone with hindsight can say the right things. David also said if they knew there was no weapons of mass destruction he would not have voted for war.
John Murray
Obviously most disillusioned Labour voters who moved over to the Lib Dems welcome an opportunity for some plain speaking. Our views and those of the majority of the public on the Iraq War and civil liberties were tampled on by the previous administration. I would applaud the speech by Ed but there is a lot more to do with the party machine to prevent such situations arising again which will require sweeping out the New Labour philosophy and its adherents before I return to the fold.

I totally disagree. Labour have shot themselves in the foot in not choosing David Miliband
