so; brown's dead in the water - who's next?

it's a bit of a poison chalice, really - labour's run it's governmental course and seems to make gratuitous policy to be seen to be doing something; which leads to bad policies (or worse ones...)

i think miliband might go for it; just for the interim title...

james purnell looks like the annointed one for the future (he's been groomed since before blair took power...) and is too astute to go for it right now i reckon...

in the meantime, i don't see how labour could survive appointing a second unelected prime minister. much as i celebrated the tories getting finally booted; i think the country needs a change. (and we're sounding like u.s politics again!)
