The Labour Leadership Contest

[poliphilo]

Milliband, Milliband, Balls- three unhealthy-looking young men with starey eyes- all deeply compromised by their membership of the last government. I feel a revulsion that is almost physical. I wouldn't care to shake their hands.   

Burnham- I don't know much about Burnham except that he was questioned the other day about his support in government for something he now condemns- and his stuttering defence was that he's a team player and proud of it.

And then there's Abbot- a woman with a mind of her own.

Guess which one of them isn't being taken seriously.

Hahaha, v true!

I'd love Abbott to get it, for both the principle and the fact I think she's a top bird. However I know that as soon as she did get it I'd go off her, as I tend to do with all the Lab/Lib folks once they become leaders.

I think she'd be a great leader in opposition- which is where Labour is going to be for the forseeable future.

Abbott would definitely get my vote, assuming I had one. :)

Frustrating, isn't it!
