"Miliband’s charity has received millions of pounds from Britain’s foreign aid budget"
It's not a charity then, it's a public sector organisation, and he (and his salary) should be accountable to the people of Britain.
No disagreement there from me
Well, it's both - obviously it gets money from numerous sources, one of which is Britain, because our elected Government thinks that this is the best way to channel the money in question. The accounts are not secret, and if there's something about them that we don't like we're free to take it up with our elected government, who can review whether they still think it's the best use.
I don't, in principle, object to the idea that a charity may deliver something that Britain wants efficiently and therefore be a good use of public funds, do you? - for instance, it's possible to argue that Eton performs a public service, even though I might not agree. Nor is it necessarily mistaken to think that a large charity is best run by a very well-paid CEO, though £400K does seem a lot.
Apart from your not being keen on Miliband, what exactly are you objecting to? Have you studied the organisation's accounts and reached a considered conclusion?
Well the accounts need to be open and transparent is the main point especially if it is receiving public funds and as you say even if you need to pay to attract quality $400k to run a charity is a little excessive. Eton of course provides scholarships
No surprise that the two tested and proven failures as presidents are at the bottom.
The fact it looks like being Sarkozy v Hollande will boost Le Pen, if it was Juppe v Valls she would likely be squeezed
The French system means it will never be Le Pen.
She may repeat her father's success of getting through the first round but she won't win the second round. I wouldn't back her to win the second round at 100/1.
Unlikely but if her opponent is Hollande it could be close
