Who do you think will be Labours next leader?

Do you think they will do well, if given the choice who would you appoint??

im hoping someone strong minded will come forward like dan jarvis, think most might be put off with who does not want brexit to happen tho.

Not JESS PHILLIPS, the Labour part is in disarray at the moment.

They need to re-connect with people, find a strong candidate that the whole party will back.

I don't know who's who these days, I did like Dan Jarvis due to being from Nottingham and his military service.

I have to admit, these days I have limited interest in politics.

I really don't know.. probably someone completly unexpected.

I'm going to resist the temptation to get too deep in politics here. I've been having discussions every day and they were exhausting even for a politico like me.

But there are two likely candidates. Keir Starmer has an angular head, which is fun. His pitch to party members was also very appealing. Then there's a D. Sausage of Darmstadt, who is pledging automatic promotion for Notts County and free pies for Notts fans at every match (to be financed by a windfall tax on F*rest fans). Who will win the race?

VOTE SAUSAGE!

What's Ed doing back in the limelight?

[AmericanPie]

Labour look to be a shadow of their former self, I know nothing about the candidates and it would like like its the same for most common folk.

[Countyman]

Some clown will come forward, the party will back him and turn when they get the first opportunity.

[cheeky~k8]

No idea, probably someone voters dont agree with.

As some who know me...politics is Sort of my field.

The leadership battle for Labour is an interesting one for two reasons. 
Which way will the members jump? Will they stay left and go for Becky Long Bailey or will they go more to the internal right with Nandy or Starmer.

Its also interesting as this is a chance to actually think outside the Westminster bubble. The comments above show Labour hasn’t considered the minority of one recently. Less said about the GE result the better. Hopefully this opportunity will let Labour unite and start to represent everyone again.
