Outlines

As protected from Tony Blair, David Miliband is seen like a possible future chief of the members of the Labor Party and Prime Minister. At a meeting of questions and answers on BBC Radio operator Five Live around the football world cup on June 29th, 2006, a listener asked Tony Blair if it had in his cabinet one Wayne Rooney , in reference to the young hope of the team of England of football, Blair indicated Miliband.

In 2007, partisans of Tony Blair, John Reid, Alan Milburn, Stephen Byers, John Hutton, Peter Mandelson), and Frank Field in a platform published on February 15th in the Guardian , of the chroniclers like Mary Ann Sieghart of the Times and Martin Kettle of the Guardian , encouraged it to present its candidature for the succession of Blair to the head of the Workers party. Miliband did however not declare candidate and posted a very clear support towards Gordon Brown, hammering its name in an interview with the New Statesman .

Miliband belongs to gang of Primrose Hill , an abstract regrouping of young persons in charge and Labor, thirty year advisers and quadragénaires in the years 2000, constituting new generation party and preparing its future orientations after the departure of the generation of Blair and Brown. The group includes, inter alia, ED Milliband, Douglas Alexander, Pat McFadden, James Purnell, Jim Murphy, Andy Burnham, Matthew Taylor, Geoff Mulgan and Patrick Diamond. Its support for Brown is perceived like the signal that the new generation is compatible with Blair as with Brown and wants to make sure that the conflict between their partisans (the blairites and the brownites ) will not persist when she arrives at the head of the party. Although his/her brother ED was political adviser of Gordon Brown whereas itself was that of Tony Blair, their ideological positions are extremely close.
