Nick Faith (Director of Communications at Policy Exchange) about the appointment of David Axelrod

Very interesting article by Nick Faith (Director of Communications at Policy Exchange) about the appointment of David Axelrod as Labour's election strategy guru:  http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2014/04/why-axelrod-has-his-work-cut-out-labour

Increasingly David Axelrod is being seen as a paper tiger.

I liked the understatement of the line about Ed Miliband not having Obama's charisma.

And the thought occurred to me - is it possible that Axelrod is being set up as a fall guy.  That insiders already suspect Labour is going to lose in 2015.  Therefore they are preparing a scapegoat so that they can all keep their Brewers Green jobs without the usual post-defeat bloodbath.
