Quote:
The Labour Party has appointed US election strategist David Axelrod as a strategic adviser on leader Ed Miliband's 2015 election campaign.
Mr Axelrod was a key architect of Barack Obama's victory over John McCain in the 2008 presidential race.
He will work alongside shadow foreign secretary, Douglas Alexander, who is to run Labour's general election strategy.
Labour will pay Mr Axelrod a six-figure sum and use his consulting firm AKPD in its bid to win power.
