Newer Labour

Brown's gone and Labour are looking for a new leader which in my opinion isn't an easy task as none of the front runners inspire me much.
Ed Balls (with a name like that he's bound to talk bollocks, which he usually does), David Milliband (who as some radio host pointed out isn't even the best politician in his own family), Harriet Harman (have no idea why anyone would put her forward?), Andy Burnham (not much substance but might appeal to all those people who said they voted for Cameron because he was young and a fresh face?) and probably a few other less well known names.
My own preference would be the more talented Milliband brother Edward or old stager Alan Johnson who I don't think will actually stand.
I've got doubts either of those fit the bill though as one is a bit too left wing for "new new" Labour and the other is 60 years old which seems to be a no no these days.

Hope they sort it out soon though because the whirlwind romance of Cameron and Clegg is bound to end in divorce sooner rather than later.
