Leader of The Labour Party
As a member of a trade union affiliated to The Labour Party I received my ballot paper today, enabling me to participate in the election for the new party leader. As it happens I voted for the candidate endorsed by our constituency MP. Who do you think be the next leader?

Re: Leader of The Labour Party
I thought we should have, but I couldn't find it, perhaps Mick or Neil could remove this one .

Re: Leader of The Labour Party
Found your poll now, back in May. This is the official list of candidates, minus mandy and the moggy.

Re: Leader of The Labour Party
I think the cat polling 23%, and coming second, in the other thread, speaks volumes about the level of enthusiasm that the candidates inspire.

Re: Leader of The Labour Party
I'm suprised they allowed Russ Abbott to black up, and stand for the leadership contest.

Re: Leader of The Labour Party
Lets face it - if anyone other than Dave Milliband gets the post, then it's another 18 years in the wilderness for Labour.

Re: Leader of The Labour Party
I notice Gordon Brown isn't on your wish list, best leader the party ever had.

Re: Leader of The Labour Party
If you put them all in a sack, shook them about a bit, and then took the best part from each of them you still wouldn't have enough material to make a useful leader.
It is a good job I don't have to vote on this one....there really isn't anyone there who lights a flame.

Re: Leader of The Labour Party
In this poll I voted David Miliband because I reckon he will win the Leadership, but taking into account the next General Election is 5 years away, I'd would rather see Ed Miliband as leader.

Re: Leader of The Labour Party
The petty squabbles and sibling rivalry that those two have indulged in, has maybe reduced their standing in the eyes of many party members.
I said 'Ed Balls' last time we were asked, and I say it again now ......but none of them are worth the effort of putting pen to paper
