Ed Miliband and interview technique

Back in June when there was a strike by teachers about changes to their pension, Ed Miliband was quoted as being very statesman-like - "strikes are wrong when negotiations are going on".

The full interview is worth watching in full, and the accompanying article in the Guardian is worth reading too, as is the complaint by the journalist asking the questions.

Essentially the answer Miliband gives is scripted and he doesn't depart from his pre-prepared statement. Nothing wrong with that, except that he answers in the same way 6 times in a 2 1/2 minute interview.

Entertaining stuff:
