Red Ed

For John, BLUF:  There may be lessons to be learned from this month's elections in the UK.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Why is Mr Ed Miliband, the recent leader of the British Labor Party, known as "Red Ed"?  I thought Red was the color of the more conservative, for example the GOP.  Ah, the Main Stream Media decided one day to use red to signify the GOP on election maps.  For the majority of the people on earth red is for revolution.  If it was someone with insight on the production staff who came up with this, it was, I am sure, for the humor of it.  On the other hand, in the United States the Republicans are the party of change.

All that said, here is Breitbart with an article looking at the British elections this month.  The headline is "ED’S DEAD:  WHERE THE BRITISH LEFT WENT SO HORRIBLY WRONG".  The author is Mr Milo Yiannopoulos.
