Ed Miliband: "Closing ourselves off from the world...

will harm
working people"
Mr Miliband said UKIP had won votes by touting simple solutions to serious
problems that had built up over generations.
"But there isn't a simple answer," he said.
There would need to be "big changes" in the British economy, he continued, to
ensure that there were good jobs and affordable housing for young people.
A Labour government would seek to rebuild "solidarity and a sense of
community", he said.
Mr Clegg, meanwhile, remains under pressure after his party lost all but one of
its 12 MEPs.
More than 300 Lib Dem activists have signed an online petition advising Mr
Clegg to resign although senior party figures, including Business Secretary
Vince Cable, has said there is "no leadership issue".
Speaking during a visit to a youth centre in Westminster, the Lib Dem leader
said he would not stand down and the party would not quit the coalition at a
time the Lib Dems were being "vindicated" on the economy and other issues.
