Its just been announced at the Labour party conference. Ed Milliband has been elected Leader of the Labour party... Ed won with a very small majority of the vote. He is of course to the left of centre of the party whereas David is centre right. I think that Ed will have a difficult job balancing the need to take the party back to its traditional left wing roots and pleasing the floating voters and middle England who are both suspicious of a real shift to the left...
Congratulations to Ed though... Diane Abbot also comes out of this as a victor for she has shown any new leader that she cannot be ignored and that they are better off with her inside the tent...
