I am really glad it will not be until before the conference in September.

Very careful scrutiny needs to be done and the absolute right choice made.
Chuka Ummunah would be amazing, now Rachel Reeves has ruled herself out, he would be my choice.

He, I feel,could connect with most areas of England,he could really capture a good bit of support in the East and West Midlands too which is vital to do.

He could even begin to address the big problem as to Scotland too,the parties once cast aside in Scotland have a struggle to come back, the Conservatives never have after Margaret Thatcher's time.
Then again she knew the uncertain outcomes and dangers of holding referendums.
Being dead against ever holding them herself.
I believe Labour can come back there over time.

So will I,not a tory lite at all but a Labour leader who will have a proper conscience and compassion with policies of justice and fairness.
Like Kizzy I would have loved Rachel to stand however.

On SkyNewsHD the union Boss did
Not back Chuka
so he had to go

http://news.sky.com/story/1485048/la...ership-pitches



[After Chuka Umunna's withdrawal
from the Labour leadership race,
the remaining candidates will
speak at a conference later.]


Once again the Dumb Union will pick the Next Leader
or Labour with Die

Just your biased view they are a weak bunch.

I don't see it that way, Yvette Cooper has skills that would.I believe, carry her to success.
Liz Kendall, is the likely dark horse but she can be really formidable,not to be underestimated.
Andy Burnham, is a dedicated politician and wrongly thought to be far left when he isn't, he could surprise if he were leader.

Mary Creagh has a calm matter of fact, attitude about her who could also bring some very new thinking,(relevant to most of the electorate),to the Labour party as leader.

If Tristram Hunt throws his hat into the ring,then he could really light things up,he has a good way of getting things across.

Not a weak bunch at all, that is just your prejudiced view against them,just as a fair bit of my view is towards them

Asked about the candidate who might win, Conservative Chancellor George Osborne said: "The Labour leadership contest has descended into farce.

"But it's not actually about personalities. I don't think the Labour Party any more represents the working people of this country who aspire to a better life."





George nailing it

No need to,thank you,I would rather spend years supporting what I believed to be right than to support any cowards and those who are heartless having power to use against the weakest in society.

At least I can say when the devastation hits people it shouldn't, that it had nothing at all to do with me.
I will never see that support for the last 3 years, not 5,you are wrong again, as wasted.
Just as likely those who supported the Conservatives during the 13 years Labour were in power, would not see that as wasted support either.

Unless the Conservative party get a leader like John Major, William Hague, Edward Heath,or the other just leaders from the 50s, then I can safely say I am unlikely to ever back the Conservatives again.
Most certainly not too,if any of, Boris Johnson, Theresa May,( god forbid), or George Osborne take over from David Cameron.

I look back at your blind faith Arista and wonder sometimes too We are all entitled to our views aren't we?
Nobody could hand on heart say they are better off under the conservatives unless they previously were well off that's the difference.

Of course you are Kizzy
but a proper leader is needed
not Burnham.

No everyone who voted Conservative
is well off
many are Hard Workers
but new that Labour was Anti Business
in its fashion.

I hope whoever they pick the only centrism they advocate it that of the Labour party in it's original vision.

That's not true, where is it written that Labour is anti business?
They were very pro small business and very anti the exploitation by big business there' a difference.

It was using Profit as wrong, massive error
nothing to do with good old workers rights

Where did it do that? Of course profit isn't error yet when profit is placed over safety and or workers rights then it becomes an exploitative error for me.
Our energy companies are a great example of this, they are huge multi million pound corporations which exploit their service users by not passing the reductions in oil prices down to the customers, it is right that a government holds this practice to account not turn a blind eye while many freeze.

Business is good, cartels are bad.
