So the harsh system has witlled the nominations down to…5.
At least there is more than 1, last time was a disaster.
So we have 2 Milibands, a Balls and a Burnam. And one Dianne Abbott.
So much for choice, apart from Abbott they are all far to similar.
Where is Alan Johnston, or Alistair Darling to name but two? These two have credibility lacked by the others, and would have had a chance of uniting the coutry behind them, not just appealing to Labour members. Is this Labours Palin moment?
Experienced Labour Reading ex-pol John Howarth says ‘Andy Burnham brings something different to the contest – he read English at Cambridge’ Oh dear.
So either its who is the most popular, or who the ConDems would least like. But it should be who has a wider appeal. And that might just be Dianne.
