Kinnock and the Electoral X Factor

Neil Kinnock has announced who he's backing in the Labour leadership contest - it is Ed of the Milibands. Apparently Miliband Minor...

"...has got the X-Factor, especially where the X is the sign you put on the voting slip at election time"

Ooo, get Kinnock and his painfully crass attempts to appear with it by using a contemporary cultural references. Bet he's well up to speed with popular music and everything.

But the irony of Neil "We're alright!" Kinnock - who led his party to two humbling defeats at the polls - advising his party on who has for the electoral X-Factor is almost too much to cope with. Kinnock should stick to his area of expertise (whatever that might be) - advising the party he helped to keep out of office for nearly a decade on electability is not credible, even for a second.
