Re: NOMINATIONS UPDATE - WEDNESDAY 1PM (#1)

I think it's almost game over for McDonnell now. He even failed to get David Hamilton (who has nominated Brown today). Seriously speaking, if Meacher really had the numbers reported (21), it's pretty clear that they aren't switching to McDonnell. If Meacher's backers weren't willing to switch, but McDonnell's one would have been willing, the choice of McD over MM would have not been very wesy strategically. However I suppose those things are a bit difficult to assess.

Re: NOMINATIONS UPDATE - WEDNESDAY 1PM (#2)

I agree, I think Meacher would have got more nominations since he isn't quite as left-wing as McDonnell.

It's looking not too good for McDonnell now, but at least lefties can be comforted by Cruddas now being guarenteed of being in the contest.

Good to see Benn getting closer to the mark as well.

Re: NOMINATIONS UPDATE - WEDNESDAY 1PM (#4)

You forgot to include Chris Mullin, who has nominated Brown.

For line breaks, type <.p.> without the dots.

Re: NOMINATIONS UPDATE - WEDNESDAY 1PM (#5)

Chris Mullin. Didn't he write A Very British Coup? How prescient........

Re: NOMINATIONS UPDATE - WEDNESDAY 1PM (#6)

He did... Harry Perkins would be ashamed of his "father" I fear...

Re: NOMINATIONS UPDATE - WEDNESDAY 1PM (#7)

...And he'd be quite right to!

Re: NOMINATIONS UPDATE - WEDNESDAY 1PM (#11)

Quite ironic really, as the Wainright character in AVBC is very Brown.

Re: NOMINATIONS UPDATE - WEDNESDAY 1PM (#8)

Which Mps have not nominated for deputy? Is there a chance for Benn?

Re: NOMINATIONS UPDATE - WEDNESDAY 1PM (#9)

Guido seems to think that Benn has the nominations now

Re: NOMINATIONS UPDATE - WEDNESDAY 1PM (#10)

Alex - you need to replace this one with the new 6pm one.
