Most useless candidate in Labour leadership election?

Alan Johnson: Postman.

Err, he's not a candidate

Andy Burnham, however, is. And the most palatable of the lot IMO.

Well, he is rather 'fetching' with his eye liner on...

[Victor McDade]

Results announced tomorrow.

He's been the underdog for most of campaign but Ed is now strong favourite at the betting exchanges.

Ed priced in the late 1.50s with David at 2.7.

Didn't vote - hopefully whichever idiot gets in will bury the party.

Hopefully Ed will win as he's totally unelectable as a Prime Minister.

It will be fantastic if Ed wins and then takes the party further to the left.

Most useless to who? I think Diane Abbott leading the Labour party would be a great thing for Britain. I think Adolf Hitler leading the Labour party would be a great thing for Britain. I think anyone who would lead the Labour party to self destruction and remove it from our political land scape for ever would be doing the country a huge favour.

Looking at their employment history, it appears none of these men have actually had a proper job before entering politics (or maybe I'm being harsh).

Special advisor, Researcher, Speech writer then MP.

Does it matter?

[Dracoro]

Diane Abbot had a "proper" job IIRC. Media/PR I think.

I think all the others have jumped straight from uni to politics.

I voted for Diane Abbott, the worst of a bad bunch.

Let's hope she wins, eh?

Ahhhh, karma.

Prescott had a propper job. he was still useless

Looking at the Party they're parliamentary members of, it's a bit too high in terms of expectations to imagine they'll be anything other than useless outside the current job they're useless at.

......lets' face it....they are all a bunch of Twunts.....

[Asterix]

It won't happen but I'd love to see Abbott win so I can watch her get annihilated every week at PMQs

[thinfourth2]

At least none of them are scottish which appeared to be the biggest problem with winky

Its amazing how they are all denouncing and distancing anything to do with Iraq, Brown, Blair and anything else they can think of.

[Victor McDade]

Showering Blair and Gordon with praise at the moment
