Next Labour Leader - Miliband Resigns

So for example, assuming Liz Kendall is the first one eliminated, very few of her second preferences will go to Corbyn, but the numbers are small enough not to be decisive. But if it Andy Burnham who goes out next, that's where it gets interesting, as you'd imagine more of his support would go to Corbyn than would Yvette Cooper's.

Be interesting to see a poll that tries to break down how this support is allocated. My suspicion is that for Corbyn to have his best chance, he's better up against Cooper in the run off than Burnham.
That particular vote-off would mirror the Miliband contest last time and another 'left wing' triumph would be an even greater disaster for the Labour Party.
 
Why would a swing to the left be a `greater disaster`? Greater than what?
Well Ed's policies didn't fire up the nation did they and the Tories snatched power against all the odds. I think with his bro leading the party we wouldn't be having this debate now. Another left wing choice next time will keep Labour out of power for 20 years.
