== Someone elses moves ==

I removed a detail that is from ''someone else's'' bio, as it is It is irrelevant to Ed Miliband . It is distracting in reading (as the text says later on: his father had 'roving' career, that should do it. Correctly, not all subsequenct job changes of another person are mentioned here). However, it was reverted twice by {{U|Bus stop}}. Full sequence, for the es's:
1: ,
rv by BS
2: , rv by BS: ).

Bus stop motivated the inclusion by explaining that that other person was his father no less, and what had happened to his father. However, I do not dispute those facts. I state that these facts are irrelevant to ''this'' bio. How is it noteworthy for Ed's bio that his father was at the LSE (or even that his father was not at LSE any more)? I see no relevant connection. Including an irrelevant fact is confusing too.


Maybe Bus stop is not convinced by this, but others might think about it. I propose removal. -] (]) 09:02, 13 May 2015 (UTC) <small>-] (]) 09:23, 13 May 2015 (UTC)</small>

::A few things spring to mind, although without reading through the Misplaced Pages article again, I don't know if we've used them already. But here goes:
::*There's the disastrous party conference speech in which he forgot to mention the economy.
::*Labour's apparent lack of direction before and during the election campaign.
::*Making reasonably good points about the direction of the coalition that were often never followed up.
::*The so-called ].
::*Forget now, but I think they may also have mentioned a lack of narrative post-2010 that allowed the coalition to blame Labour for creating a world recession.

Department names

Ed was head of Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change from 2008 to 2010. This is a slighly different department from Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero which is the role he currently holds. I think his 2008 role should be split out from his current role.
