Gromit, do you really think he will perform as shadow Chancellor?
Under Blairm not so much under Brown Unions were kept under wraps. This is not the case now, Red ED having taking the Unions shilling has opened the party to all sorts of smears and accusations. anyone with Union connections will be subject to associations such as R1 has put forward. It will be very difficult to place labour in centre ground and as we know "Middle England (Mondeo man) giveth and Middle England taketh. You, I, Jake, AOG,R1 doent really mater in the equation. We have made our well thought out descion and will most likely stick with it. The floaters are teh ones that matter.
And majority of the public does not think, as you well know.
