Who would you like to see lead Labour next and why?

[house your seagull]

it's an interesting one.

support in the south-east is more important than union members at this time.

 

[Beach Hut]

Diane to lead them into total oblivion

 

[Tricky Dicky]

I want Diane to win.

David M will win

She seems little short of an outright idiot, but mostly harmless. Clearly going for the female/minority vote. DM will more than likely win it thought , I agree.

 

[house your seagull]

she addresses members as dear comrade.

FAIL

 

[Perkino]

Ed Miliband as he is the best candidate

 

[Don Quixote]

Ed was my first preference.

 

[RexCathedra]

Tony Wedgewood Benn, but not on offer, more's the pity.

If you give the Man on the Clapham Omnibus a choice at the polls between a real Tory, and a fake Tory, and a pretend Tory, he'll choose the real Tory every time.

 

[Lurker]

If Abbott's first name was David, and he was white ..... would he even be in the list?

Take out her gender, take out her ethnicity ..... exactly who would she appeal to?

She's a token candidate, and if she won, the Tories/Lib Dems would throw a year long party to celebrate.

Just received my ballot papers. Need to make a decision!

Made my decision, andy as 1st choice and david as 2nd.

I know burnham has no chance of winning but I hope he gets enough support to get a senior place in the shadow cabinet.

I must say that harriet harman has done a good job at pmq's whilst covering and I think she should have stood although would not have won.

I do think that Alistair Darling would have done a good job too in terms of gravitas and as he's been largely proved right post election, would have been a real force.

 

[Don Quixote]

I know what you mean about Andy, I would have put him first but I feel Ed needs to win.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

The Steve Miller Band is the best of the three brothers. But David will win.

Far too tarnished with the Brown Brush.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Balls would be a disaster for Labour so lets hope he wins. Why is it Abbott is labelled as fat ". Very demeaning and hardly adding to the debate.

Well her comments about the 'inlaws not supporting the marriage' and also the blowing of the revised unemployment figures which forced an amended and unverified release of data from the obr and which has caused so much derision at that new body were early wins.

As for Darling I think he is clearly not in Brown's camp. But publicly he may be perceived as that.

 

[Aldo]

Andy Burnham

 

[BensGrandad]

Whatever the result it will be inconsequential for 15 years or so.

Thats the correct answer hopefully.

 

[BLOCK F]

As a Conservative voter,I do not really care who wins.However I am almost certain that brother David will win...Ed would take the party too far to the left for many of the electorate's taste....Diane Abbott no chance,same with Burnham.As for Mr.Balls he is too unpopular with both the electorate and much of the Labour Party and anyway,with those staring eyes he looks slightly mad and that matters!
IMHO,David will have to work hard to throw off the geeky rather weedy image he has.Can't see him inspiring others in the party,let alone the electorate.

Ed out of that DEDWARD lot
