Alan Johnson, if he were a few years younger, would be an excellent and popular choice. Sadly, although he's not an old man, I fear he may be too old for such a stressful job. One thing is for sure though, Mr Ed. has to go. He's not even popular within his own party. He was the reason I resigned my membership of the Labour Party and I told them at the time, that he would be a bad leader and very much the wrong choice. Who would trust anybody who stabbed his own brother in the back, at the 11th hour, to get the top job?
Its policies that count, not personalities. If people are willing to vote Labour with Johnson but not with Ed, perhaps they should question their loyalty to Labour. They either want a future Labour Government or they don't.
Popularity of political Leaders waxes and wanes all the time. I have little time for beauty contests. People should study the facts, not the gossip.

We live in a televisual world Zacs, where appearance is now more important than content. But it wasn't always so. Attlee won a huge landslide victory for Labour, over a supposedly unbeatable war hero, in 1945. He did this despite not being anything like as well known as Churchill.
He apparently had the charisma of a paper bag. Churchill said of him once that "an empty taxi cab pulled up in Downing Street and Clement Attlee got out"
Perhaps in 1945 people were more interested in things of real importance, rather than celebrity nonsense.

Both Cameron and Miliband were elected as leader by people other than their MPs. Cameron wooed the blue rinse brigade in the constituencies and Miliband got the deciding not off the Unions.
So both have suffered by not being elected by their MPs and there will always be those MPs who wished their preferred candidate had won. So there will always be threats of mutiny.
To find 20 Labour MPs who are dissatisfied out of 270 is not difficult.
It will make for an interesting General election.

On the subject of Churchill, I have always found it difficult to understand why he failed so badly, to win the 1945 election.
I do not worship at Churchills feet like some but he was undoubtedly just the person we needed during WW2. He was tough and belligerent and his bloody mindedness was very helpful. But the very minute the British people had the opportunity, they kicked him out of power, in their millions.
My old Dad always had the opinion that the common man blamed "the establishment" for getting them into the war in the first place and were glad of their opportunity to give the ruling classes a kick up the jacksee (his words, not mine) as soon as they could, and there is maybe a lot of sense in that. Of course, he bounced back again in 1951, but it was never the same again for him.
