Brown vs. Milburn

[Guy_Montag]

So who's going to take over from TB?

I know everyone expects Brown to, but I think Tony's been grooming Milburn as the next leader, to carry on New Labour rather than letting his baby return to being old Labour.

1. NOOOOO! Anyone but Milburn!

If that shit takes over from Blair, I don't know what I do. He makes Blair look like Tony Benn.

2. If Milburn takes over it'll split the Labour Party

and it will hasten a Conservative revival.

Giving the British public Blair II would be too bitter a pill to swallow.

I think Brown will be the next Labour leader.

3. Hillary Benn

is the name I have been hearing.

4. Hillary Benn?!

The guy has all the charisma of a goldfish.

He'd be nowhere in politics if it weren't for his father.

All he has going for him is name recognition. That will only go so far.

5. Brown

I really can't imagine the PLP or the party membership accepting the weasel Milburn over Brown.
