I will actually vote "on-line" to save the Party money.
(I am not entirely sure whether these particular ballot papers are due to my Party membership or that of the Association of Labour Councillors?)
I am voting for Ed Miliband and Ken Livingstone.
I think Ed is the best candidate for the Labour Leadership since he recognises that the Party does need to change and evolve. He supports a significant shift (in my view) in Party thinking.
He believes that there is a positive role to be played by the state in the economy such as protection for agency workers, a real living wage and progressive taxation to really tackle the destructive inequity of income inequality. He is a traditional Labour Party social democratic socialist who is motivated by social justice not outdated factional politics who will attract our core vote while not scaring off the middle class horses.
The fact that Ed has been attacked by the left and the right (you know who I mean) has confirmed to me he is the best choice.
I will post on Ken and the reasons I support him for London Mayor tomorrow.
