Thread: Who will be new Labour leader?

Discussion with who?

I wanted Alan Johnson but he's ruled himself out of the race. Damn!!!!

In the meantime Brown resigns. Who do you think will be the new leader? Who should it be and who do you want it to be?

Personally, I think Labour needs to return to the left with a new critique of liberal economics and new ideas for offering a socialist alternative. Who could be the figurehead for such a move? Were I still a Labour Party member (haven't been since 1998), I'd go for John Cruddas. If you're thinking Miliband, I'm thinking (Ed) Balls to that! No pod people please. That rules those two out of it.

Any thoughts? It's a big decision for them to take as the new person could be knocking on the door of No.10 before the Olympics.

That's a bit off topic but I've seen that the BNP has been severly defeated! Good news!

Backbencher Alan Simpson.

I will put my wager on him.

How do you work that out?

David Miliband FTW!

"It's all about young", says Alan Johnson in his backing for Milliband.

Milly's off on a revelatory mystery tour as he tries to discover why his bunch of odious, nation-wrecking arrogant traitorous creeps are so unattractive to the punters.

(And as his government helped ram the population up to a breathtaking 61 MILLION, he'll have a whole lot of waffling to do and complaints to hear:

No wonder there are so many different mutually alien communities in need of 'cohesion'! Jesus!)



The man who helped immerse Britain more fully into the unwanted top tier of EU autarky without permission says he'll rebuild trust in the Reds again.

Youth lacks the wisdom and experience of the older troopers in keeping a steady hand on the tiller. But because we're talking Labour, I suppose they've got a point in wanting to leave behind the old dyed-in-the-wool failure merchants who did so much to destroy Britain since the 1960s.



Milly: 'I'll lead Labour to rebuild itself as the great reforming champion of social and economic change'.

IT WAS THAT SH*T WHICH TURNED BRITAIN INTO SUCH A POLITICALLY-CORRECT, WAGE-SLAVING, HERITAGE-FREE SCRAPHEAP IN THE FIRST PLACE!

You had a really good angle there but as usual went off on one. Shame really as the age of the leaders across all the parties is important - all the parties seem to have chosen leaders to reflect vigour and energy at the expense of other attributes that are important.
