Actually, might as well flounce.
It might be that the Northern party keeps the name and goes to the polls as Traditional Labour, while the London mob can get in branding consultancies and end up with something like #redAspire.

#blueAspire would surely be more accurate.

A real branding consultancy would come up with something much more impressively revolting, anyway.
So, no-one likes the strategic schism idea?

do you work for Labour HQ? i ask because no-one who had been north of Edgeware could believe anything other than i was taking the piss not out of the North, but out of the cretins who poulate Labour HQ, and their understanding of the North - which is none whatsoever.

So far so good, but...
Now those can be read in full in the linked article, but if you're after a summary...
Are we Cameron yet?
- Stop calling UKIP nasty tories
- Cut welfare
- Adopt a pro EU ref position
- Embrace EVEL and ditch Barnett

Go on, son - the right to determine the direction of the party of working people is a sacred honour handed down from generation to generation to a select few chosen ones.

Hardly getting over it.
Euan Blair, then.

So many particulars. So many questions.

I saw somewhere (HIGNFY?) that supposedly at least one ballot paper spunking cock was counted as a valid vote because it was drawn neatly within the box.
I saw a series of ballot papers when i was at the count that had "he's a fucking wanker" or words to that affect written next to the name of the UKIP guy, and crosses in the Green party box which were accepted.
To fit within the box, it would have to have been the smallest cock and shortest trajectory of spunk ever, surely?

See, I thought (thanks to Richard Herring) that the spunking cocks system was about identifying any candidate who gets more cocks than votes so that they can be barred from ever again standing for public office.
But if cocks count as votes too, maybe we need a separate category of representatives who've been elected this way: a tricameral system - House of Lords, House of Commons and House of Cocks.
Imagine how much time and effort the actual Govt could save if there was a separate chamber of people specifically appointed to be cocks.

Messy Crimbobs, fellow humans.
So apparently anyone can sign up to vote for the next leader, regardless of whether or not they are in the party. Surely that's just asking to be trolled by the loyal footsoldiers of Proletarian Democracy.

£3 for the privilege. I'd have thought that the loyal foot-soldiers of the vermin would be more interested in supporting the most vulnerable candidate?

Well yes, that was kind of the point I was making in a round-about way.

Can I nominate him on the left in the leather waistcoat? He seems to really have the rapt attention of the bloke in sunglasses.

Exasperated, not angry.
A few years ago I wrote 'Anyone but XXX' in XXX's box, just cos I wanted her to try and argue that it was a positive vote, despite it bloody obviously not being.

I've been a vote-counter at many elections and I can assure you that she would have done so without hesitation or embarrassment.

This is at least a measure of why our political culture is ahead of that of Florida. They had parties claiming hanging chads, we at least have candidates declaiming loudly 'put that spunker on my pile!'

interim leader Harman has effectively turned the leadership contest into a ballot stuffing contest between Unite and CCHQ - presumably Burnham vs Hunt. Think Labour would be better served if Alan Johnson threw his hat into the ring standing on a platform of only being there 2 years, using the time to normalise the internal working of the party.

You may be lagging behind reality. In 2010 I saw some blue election leaflets hanging out of some letter boxes a street or two away from where I lived in Stockwell and I was so curious about why the tories would bother leaflet such a safe Labour ward that pulled one out to have a look and see what their pitch was. It was from Labour, and to be fair had a purple-ish tinge to it. Interestingly they were popping the blue/purple ones through letterboxes on a Georgian terrace and using red ones on the council estate where I lived.
