Who should now lead Labour?

Chuka Umunna because he's hawt.

No way, he's all smooth, but has no grit. Flint or Cooper would be better, in fact Cooper has some steel to her, she could be another Iron lady.

Its gonna be Andy Burnham. I wanted him to be leader last time around too.

Otherwise I'd be rooting for Chuka Umuna

Sorry but Burnham has Zero gravitas. Umuna might do well by being slick, well spoken, young and being seen as some British Obama.

I despise Chuka Umunna, he's so self-righteous.

In an ideal world, Alan Johnson - he'd wipe the floor with them. Realistically, it's got to be Burnham.

This election has shown labour loses votes by shifting left, and because of that he'll have the unions backing this time around.

Chuka Umunna because he's hawt.

Definitely not Flint as she's vile, highly irrational and likely a misandrist, or very uneducated, either way she'd be a terrible leader.

Yvette sounds good, although she is obviously married to the utter disaster that is Ed Balls.

Andy Burnham is a decent candidate but I don't know if he could take the pressure, when I have lsitened to him he seems to get irate very easily and starts to spew irrational nonsense, or just frankly meaningless nonsense.

Sadiq Khan I am unsure about. Possibly.

But they hardly shifted left in reality. What if they have to become basically Tory to win? Miliband reformed the unions in ways Blair wish he could have for example.

Not saying that your are wrong or I'm right but this


“Labour wasn’t Blairite enough” will be the rallying cry of Labour’s right. A Blairite leader, according to this theory, would have prevented a collapse in support to a Scottish party positioning itself to Labour’s anti-austerity left. It would have stopped the Greens mopping up disillusioned leftwing voters.And it would have avoided the defection to Ukip of working-class supporters angry at the immigration of the Blair-Brown era, for which Labour under Miliband had apologised, adopting an anti-immigration stance that appalled Blairites.


Miliband had taken on the trade union link in a way Tony Blair declared he wished he had, committing to cutting public spending every year; he was the first Labour leader to do so, as he himself boasted." - Owen Jones

I know you don't like Owen Jones but he makes reasonable points imo. A Blairite wont help in Scotland.

I don't know, there is arguments on both sides. I'm just throwing out the ones on the otherside. Don't necessarily agree with them all. I think the Scotland one is undeniable however.

I think they should follow the SNP and go for a strong younger woman.
Caroline Flint would be my choice.
