Zebra

Principled idealist who sees politics in stark moral black-and-white.

Ed Miliband built his entire political identity around moral conviction — from challenging his own brother for the Labour leadership to championing wealth inequality with his 'predator vs producer' capitalism speech. He is a stubborn idealist who refuses to compromise his principles even when it costs him electorally, epitomised by his commitment to climate legislation and his unflinching stance on press regulation after the Leveson inquiry. His rigidly values-driven worldview and willingness to stand alone against powerful interests mark him as a classic zebra.
