He'll be the clear favourite and still reasonably young and untainted. He may have thought he could improve Labour's prospects but that the next Labour leader was sure to fail. Better to lead a recovering new Labour Party than be the bookend of the Blair government...<BR/><BR/>This is, of course, so. But I really don't think he feels Broon is better. He knows the score. The Bilderbergers clearly were grooming both Blair and Broon from an early point - Milliband has also been approached, as he's 'talent'but this would only serve to remind him he's still too green and must wait in the wings.<BR/><BR/>[Oh, plus all the ostensible, peripheral stuff about Broon having the numbers and all that.]James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21959228.post-84669857442655742312007-04-23T08:25:00.000+01:002007-04-23T08:25:00.000+01:00Interesting piece.

I am slightly dissapointed he has decided not to run but I guess he realised he was unlikely to win against Brown and he may wish to take a seat in Browns cabinate for now. Its an interesting thought that he may be hoping for a conservative victory in the next election! We'll have to keep an eye out for him handing out blue leaflets when the big election does comes round.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901853618033139515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21959228.post-63274006151886169352007-04-23T08:23:00.000+01:002007-04-23T08:23:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901853618033139515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21959228.post-59777014326617908352007-04-23T01:21:00.000+01:002007-04-23T01:21:00.000+01:00Great piece Matt- I think likewise Milliband has c...Great piece Matt- I think likewise Milliband has chosen to defer- the other thought is that after an election campaign in a hung Parliament Labour may look to someone new to form a coalition say with the liberals and he gets in that way. Brown had in my view sown up too mcuh- 200 MPs many trade unions et al.Gracchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06344262838391424797noreply@blogger.com
