This is an interesting list of CLPs. Three that stuck out for me were Wantage, Witney and Kingston and Surbiton, all returning members of the current government. In fact, there aren't many Labour seats represented in this list, certainly not those from the centre of the party. Oh, and Barnsley East, the CLP of a man who has been suspended from the Labour party.
Polly, only Ed Miliband can save Labour. David Miliband will push it further to the right. What with the Lib Dems selling out, a more right wing Labour party would leave the centre left abandoned. What will take it's place? Where's the democracy in that? I worry the BNP might benefit. Only Ed Miliband can offer us change that delivers constructive, intelligent and constructive opposition.
Surprisingly quite affecting, fair play. I'm still going to vote for Andy Burnham as my first preference but I'm happy to give Ed Miliband my second preference now.
I think we are all sick of "Change" and "Radical Change". The best two years of the Labour parties last government were the first two when they didn't do a great deal. Change just wastes money and creates non jobs for consultants in the public sector. I will vote for the candidate who doesn't keep going on about change.
He seems like a really nice guy but what on earth does "Change to win mean?" I'd be surprised if this video wins any votes. Not one policy idea is mentioned- how would millions of votes be won back to Labour? No answers from this campaign video. None. So I won't be votiing with Ed Miliband?
Its such a political cleché, Nick Clegg and David Cameron spouted it endlessly, and totally went back on it. However in Ed's case for once it isn't a cleché, because he's supporting change from New Labour to a more left-wing format, therefore it is actually relevant. Pity so many who went before him have abused the word...
Wow, what a powerful and inspiring message. Ed is our own Obama. Go Ed!

It's an interesting mandate, alright.
