Can Labour not choose its leader by some kind of democratic contest?
Should the membership get some say over their new leader ? Even if it isn't very democratic to give the Unions the largest say - 40% Unions, 30% MPs and 30% Membership.

I think public opinion wants a leadership election and are putting pressure on, but i think the theory runs that we dont vote for personality (a leader) we vote for the party and accept what leader the party puts in place? Hence because Labour is democratically in power the actual leadership shouldnt matter?
But i agree there should be laws to prevent a straight handover of power, whatever deals Blair and Brown did behind closed doors

i imagine he virtually honestly stands proud because the subsequent chief of the Labour party, and hence the subsequent best Minister. There really will be a contest, besides the undeniable fact that, as there must be for the administration of any democratic party.

I'd say he's got a good chance, even though his personality is...well, lacking (i'm trying to be nice about it!) but he's most likely got it in the bag
