Miliband's first electoral tests as Labour Leader came in the elections to the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Assembly and various councils across England, excluding London, on 5 May 2011.

Miliband is a listener where Brown is a preacher, and he draws inspiration from wherever he can find it: Franklin Roosevelt, Icelandic female strikers, Paul Stephenson and the Bristol bus boycott. At the heart of his argument is a truism with which no reader of this paper would be likely to disagree: “We can’t remake the high-carbon unjust world as the zero-carbon unjust world.” What follows is the outline (none of it set in stone) of “a renewed social contract” that involves at least 20 clauses. It’s a familiar wishlist, but one set out with likable energy: a Green New Deal, universal basic income (or a one-off “freedom dividend”), stakeholder capitalism, a living wage for carers, better work-life balance, a calling to account of big tech and its billionaires, cycle lanes, citizens’ assemblies, fossil fuel divestment… Debnath, Neela (27 September 2010).
