Saw David Miliband yesterday morning (off work ill so watching BBC news 24). David Miliband gave a great speech. Talked about grass roots involvement and continuing the work of party regeneration which "stopped on 2nd may 1997".Pushed buttons for me. But then, despite "losing badly" The Labour Party is in a fortunate position. This is not a loss like in 1983 or 1987. We have people who can pick up the torch and run with it. We need an honest and open contest of ideas and ideals. With two candidates declared so far, both Miliband brothers are looking like good candidates. Where are the rest of you! Come on, lets see a decent contest that will enthuse the voters!Meanwhile 3000 new members in a week speaks volumes. Out of touch? Maybe not as much as the press make out?
