Harman changed her views because she knows she can't win on the moderate front since the competition is too fierce (with Johnson, Blears and possibly Benn). So she switched to the left because Cruddas is hardly credible.

The reason why Cameron has adopted a Blairite stance is precisely BECAUSE it is an election winner. Why can you not see that?

Nobody's saying Harman's a communist / militant, but what she had to say was certainly a shock to me and the general public at large.
