I voted in the last labour leadership. David m, Andy B, others and Ed M last. Ed was last in an attempt to counter the union vote that dominated that leaderships election. Andy B is a really good bloke as far as I can tell but I fear will be slightly too left to be electable. Chuka looks to be a little of the unknown (even tho he is everywhere). He may come accross as the metropolitan elite but he may have Tony Blair's flair for the centre and I think that is the key to getting a labour government

@William.
The assumption that all tory voters are privileged is laughable. The working class voted tory because they see LABOUR as run by a privileged, out of touch intellectual, i.e Ed milliband. We lost, I mean Labour lost (I am joining the party so I can vote for the new leader) because the working classes, especially in the north and far south west, think everyone in London and the south east is a cunt. So the feeling's mutual, but it doesn't help anyone.
The tory government is shit, and will be shit, and Labour needs to figure out how to oust it next time. The only way to do that is to win votes back from the tories. We want more people on our side, not fewer. How will we achieve that by calling half the population cunts?
I might vote for Andy Burnham. I think Chukka Umunna will be seen as too slick and southern. I don't know the 2010 lot so well.
