> Ed's vision for the future is based on his values—values of family, fairness, community and decency at work. Ed has said many times that he learned these values from his parents during childhood; having both fled the Nazis during the second world war, they taught their son "never to walk by on the other side". [1]

Ed Miliband won the leadership of the leftist Labour party in 2010. Labour party leadership elections are based on a number of different blocs voting. Despite losing the votes of both the parliamentary party bloc and Labour party members bloc, Ed Miliband won the trade union bloc vote which secured his victory.
