Seems not many Blairites left now. Can Labour ever govern again?

Labour died when Blair took over

I will shed no tears over David Miliband

Millibland senior taking his Blairite principles to NY to earn $$$$$$$$$$ like his rolemodel.

I never really believe that any political animal truly 'steps away' particularly at the age of David Milliband.
I'm sure he will be willing to step up to the plate again if circumstances were such that he was assured of the party backing.

Being high up in an international charity will certainly add another string to his bow. I always believe Blair will be back one day along with Mandleson in some capacity.

Shame this as he is so much more a leader than his brother but he got fucked over. Hope his brother fucks off and he returns at some point.

Don't worry mate - we all have our blind spots.
I have a grudging admiration for any bloke who can see fuck all but can hide a three year affair from his missus whilst siring a secret sprog.

So less than Wilson secured in 1976 is "convincing"?

30 wouldnt be great as i would prefer 649 majority as it meant the country may have seen sense.

Only in your opinion

Nope - in mine too,and a fair few folk on here,as the penny finally starts to drop that Dave is a bit of a busted flush nowadays.
Us lefties get everywhere,like political stealth ninjas.

The dog led a double life too.
He had to guide in the day and watch at night.

Maybe so, but surely even you wouldn't describe that as a "convincing" win?

Apart from when you're picking your winnings up, of course.

25 seats plus majority and you've got a bet...

I want in on this.
