So the Labour party has a new leader and a new deputy leader! I am finding it hard to be excited about this in either a positive or negative way.
Some Conservatives feel that Harman will herald a lurch to the left for the Labour party or that there will be a battle of ideals between her and Brown. There may well be the former there will not be the later.
Brown is a good old fashioned left winger, while he may drape himself in the colours of free markets and individual freedom, his heart is still wedded to centralised command and control government. It mattered not what any of the deputy leadership candidates said in the hustings they were always going to end up doing exactly what Brown told them to. There should have been a challenge and a vote for the leadership, the one they had for deputy was irrelevant.
In the next few weeks the highest profile "unknown" in British politics will come out of the shadow of Tony Blair. Will David Miliband be right? Will we all want Tony back?

James, James, James. If you want to keep on believing that Gordon's some sort of died in the wool Lefty be our guest.
Won't make it true and my guess is that it won't stick.
Part of the problem that Conservatives have had over the last decade and a half is that you just don't "get" New Labour. From Demon Eyes through to Red Gordon same mistake each time.
