Neither nerd nor the two-faced are fit to represent the working class. It may take 10 years to find a leader for Labour who is true to the values he/she is to represent.

There's no-one currently available.

It'll need new blood that doesn't come from the public school elite that have never done a days hard work in their lives but from the school of hard knocks and are self made successes.

No obvious candidates spring to mind. :(

Stephen Kinnock will do:

Quote:

Kinnock comes from a real political dynasty – along with his famous father, his sister Rachel works for Ed Miliband, and his mother Glenys was a Labour MEP.

Kinnock is also married to the Prime Minister of Denmark, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, but says that his marriage will not distract him from his duties at Westminster.

We'll see. I think Liz Kendell is probably the best bet so far. Centrist and not associated with the previous cabinets.

That'll be the Liz Kendell who is a former special adviser to Harman (gawd)...she's studied history at Cambridge and no doubt fancies herself as God's gift to the NHS now that she's learned a bit about it. Can't see how she's any more qualified than the rest of the crummy crop.

Nope, the Labour Party need someone vocational with passion and principles and a broader grasp of the concept of the party ethos along the lines of:

Well Alan Sugar's not particularly interested anymore. He's 'fired' Labour:

Re: Who will lead the Labour Party?

A privately educated graduate whose work experience is that of a solicitor in a city law firm and who has no first hand experience of the problems of raising a family in modern day Britain. As a leader of the working class, he has failure written all over him.

He may be able to save his soul by visiting that capitalist Russell Brand to get the support of the twittering classes or whatever other social media tripe he plays with. Depends how low he's prepared to crawl.

I predict David Milliband will be the new Labour leader in three years time.

Re: Who will lead the Labour Party?

Yes despite his interview yesterday my hunch is he will return as he has a clause in his contract to leave his charity work.
