Delusional, I'd say. I've never read such revisonist, blinkered pish outside of the comments on Telegraph or Mail articles.
Anyway, back to the thread- Burnham would have been my first choice, but a chat with my local branch secretary and other CLP members- some of whom were helping to run parts of his campaign- convinced me as to Ed Milliband's merits so he got my vote in the end. I'm delighted it wasn't his brother, he's far too Blair-ite for my taste and hopefully the younger Milliband can now map out his own path and the horrific Blair- Brown sectionalism can be consigned to history. It'll be nice to have a centre-left leader for the first time since John Smith, and hopefully he can pull back in the C2DE vote which collpased so badly at the last election and cost Labour dearly. Not shitting on your own natural supporters will be very much welcomed.
