I think Cooper would be better than Andy Burnham as the new Labour leader. Or Eddie Izzard.
I like Cooper or Umunna
I think they're probably correct in their opinion that this time around Labour failed to pitch to the middle. I suspect this is also why disillusioned Lib Dem voters broke right rather than left, and why in certain areas it appears that traditional Labour voters went to UKIP
Burnham is probably too old Labour, appealing to a demographic that doesn't hold the clout it once did, and Hunt is probably too wonkish
I don't know anything about the other suggested candidates

in a surprise development, the entire nation of Sweden is now running as the new Labour leader
this is not possible - however, stephen kinnock is a labour MP and married to the danish prime minister
so if he was made labour leader he could potentially claim to be married to denmark. and if he won an election we could have joint husbando-waifu rulers...

I am still pretty fucking astonished that any disillusioned Lib Dem voters voted Tory. Oh no, they broke their word on tuition fees, best vote Tory now. Wat?

I generally think that your average lib dem is either a leftist who is put off labour because of a perceived lack of economic pragmatism, or a Tory that recognises that policy built on egalitarianism as a principle in an unequal society isn't egalitarian in effect
So I can see a right leaning lib dem voter going Tory on the basis that a recovering economy limits the regressiveness of Tory social policy and/or genuinely believed that labour would put a recovery that in theory benefits everyone at risk
I mean, I don't agree with that, but I can see it as a stance

the thing is
there are no such thing as centerists
people who believe they are center are actually just people on the right or the left who falsely believe they are more "reasonable" than everyone else
a surprising number of Lib Dem supporters are actually conservatives albeit with a small "C"

btw watch as the tories do about 12000 things they wanted to do (including snoopers charter and repealing human rights bill) straight away
"BUT THE LIB DEMS DIDNT STOP THEM DOING ANYTHING"
im sorry u live in a fantasy land where the junior partner in a coalition gets what they want and stops everything : (
i have heard a lot of otherwise intelligent people repeating the most retarded shit about da lib deems
I don't think Umuna has wide appeal. He's slick and confident, but lacking any charm.
I know this shit shouldn't be important, but obviously it really fucking is these days.
I had literally never heard of him before Miliband resigned. He seems hungup on moving out of Westminster, as in literally he doesn't like the palace itself. Not entirely sure why or why he thinks this should be one of his headline positions in his first days in the limelight.

Yup. Like the obsession with Independents here in the States. The vast majority of them only ever vote for one party. The rest tend to have jarringly incompatible stances on issues.

its worth noting that the lib dems actually fall roughly between labour and the cons on a wide range of issues
they are a relatively old-fashioned british Liberal party - thus can keep a straight face while saying we like drugs and less deficit spending
this is not really a position conventional left-right graphcs have space for

Because you grant temporary invincibility.
I originally read that as "having noodles up one's ass"
The bookies had her as second favourite the day after the election, so it's not like she's wildly unlikely to get it.

While true, in this case we came up with the name by committee.
And I think we came up with the best name possible.
I was petting a cat, P10. You can sympathize with this!
Now now, this is the name everyone agreed on.
Except perhaps broar and the woman bearing the child, but they've already been out-voted. :P
p10 gets mad pussy
just constant pussy everywhere all over his room
British?
well, how better to denote a healthy scorn for modern day politics by betting on it
Wait what
Not at all?
