The Next Labour Leader

I'll keep this short because I'm really not paying much attention to the Labour leadership contest. The reason for that is that I believe it genuinely doesn't matter who they pick: they're not choosing our next Prime Minister here. The successful candidate won't be the next Tony Blair, or even the next John Smith; if they're lucky, they'll be the next Neil Kinnock - the person who loses the next several elections but does eventually lay the foundations for future success.

The next Labour Prime Minister is somebody we haven't heard of yet, and quite possibly someone who hasn't entered Parliament yet.
