The Labour Leadership Contest Summarised.

Good God will this infernal Labour leadership contest never end? The candidates are not saying or doing anything new, and if you're a Labour party member who hasn't figured out which one of these non-entities you want as leader despite the months of campaigning, then you're thick as pig shit. Then again, if you've got a vote, you're a Labour party member so you're probably not blessed with intellect anyway.

If you want my advice (and I'd imagine that the paragraph above would alienate most Labour party members), then you should vote for Ed Miliband or Andy Burnham. Both of those are anodyne, bland and immensely tedious, but they would at least represent some sort of a change. David Miliband - a charisma vacuum and total geek - would be destroyed by the media and would be demolished each and every week in Prime Minister's Questions. Plus he's the continuity candidate, and there's no point in continuing with the type of politics comprehensively rejected by the voters at the last election. Ed Balls and Diane Abbott are both electoral bromide. You may as well dig up Michael Foot's carcass and make that Leader of the Opposition; he'd be more popular than Abbott or Balls. Yes, I know, a choice between Ed Miliband and Andy Burnham is a bit like choosing between different types of mild soft cheeses, but effectively, that's the choice you've got. Enjoy.
