Seems like Kier has this in the bag. He's a bit to far left for me but I'd take some one inteligent, commited and capable and a little out of my preferred politicsal spectrum. Competance and ability 1st and I think on that basis he was the best option. Nandy has run a good campaign but given the Labour party is a unquestionably pro EU movement she was always going to struggle. RLB was nothing other than a Corbyn desciple and she and her backers thought that would be all it would take (as did many on here). I actualy think if she had distanced herself from JC and talked up change she could have won this but her insistance that nothing was wrong and more of the same was needed was clealry wrong fron the start and she never changed gear.
This is a step in the right direction - lets see how the deputy vote goes - if Burgon gets it then that is a disaster as he is a muppet, he doesn't have a standout oponent though so the split vote could help him. Beyond that is the composition of the EEC and clealry there are a number on there that will need to resign in due course.
PS gutted for all the numpties on here who convinced themselves RLP was a shoe in and put money on it.
