I voted Blears Cruddas Johnson but now the election's over (as it will be for most on this site) wasn't it rubbish!

It felt like a really fatuous promotion exercise including flirting with the boss (but why did we have to watch?).

If that is the standard of political commitment perhaps we need a rethink about the role. It really was an awful waste of time. I was worried that a 'leadership election' might tear the party apart. The deputy leadership has been more akin to being licked to death.

Perhaps a booby prize is needed (6th place goes to Siberia - actually lets mince them as cat food)

Re: OK, who's voted for who? (#15)

by MM on Mon Jun 11, 2007 at 09:05:27 PM GMT

I voted 1. Johnson, 2. Benn. I have to agree with many of the other comments on here saying the deputy leadership election has been a embarrassment. Just think all the candidates still have to appear on Question Time, what will they say or do to make us cringe then? The irony would be if Mr Brown decides to appoint Jack Straw as DPM, then this whole exercise has been pretty pointless.


Re: OK, who's voted for who? (#25)

If Gordon crowns Jack as his DPM, I will laugh my head off.Serve all them right for being so subservient......oh, nice to see Gordon taking note of our thoughts on Iraq....don't say I didn't warn you.

[ Parent ]

Re: OK, who's voted for who? (#35)

by grassrootsgal on Wed Jun 13, 2007 at 10:42:18 AM GMT

The basis is that Hazel came bottom of polls of party members and the general public, that she only just scraped enough nominations to be on the ballot paper, and that only 36 CLPs nominated her.

Re: OK, who's voted for who? (#48)

And if by some miracle Blears does manage to knock Hain into last place - for he will surely be next to her at the bottom of the pile - she'd need to pick up virtually all of his seconds to knock the next person out!

All her 'second and third choices' would only count once all those first choices have been eliminated!

1.Cruddas 2.Harman 3.Benn 4.Hain 5.Johnson 6.Blears I liked Blears, but from what I saw, she tended to say the same thing over and over, as did Johnson with the Batman thing and his wanting to be the new Prescott.

by reallabour on Wed Jun 13, 2007 at 07:55:09 PM GMT

I'm sitting here with my party and Amicus ballot papers seriously contemplating putting them all at number 6. Never seen such an uninspiring choice in my life. There is not one of them who will seriously stand up to Gordon Brown on behalf of the movement. Will probably not spoil my ballot paper as long as I can find a pin.


Re: OK, who's voted for who? (#39)

by swatantra on Wed Jun 13, 2007 at 10:11:00 PM GMT

I think there has eventually got to be a shift of power to the movement because, our leaders should be servants of the Party, not the other way around. It means finding a DL who can challenge the diktats of the Executive, when they are obviously in the wrong, and force a change of policy on them.

1. Cruddas 2. Benn 3. Harman 4. Hain 5. Johnson 6. Blears I think Cruddas is utterly insincere and will veer rightwards if elected, but at least he's not a Blairite minister and made left-wing noises before some of the candidates jumped on the bandwagon.

All 9 votes cast between myself and my partner were 1) Blears 2) Johnson 3) Benn - had to be convinced to go to 3 and absolutely no chance I was taking any responsibility whatsoever for helping any of the other 3 get elected.

Re: OK, who's voted for who? (#46)

by clearredwater on Mon Jun 18, 2007 at 03:35:34 PM GMT

1, Cruddas
2, Hain
3, Benn
4, Harman
5, Johnson
6, Blears

If Cruddas gets in the top three i will be chuffed in all fairness. The guy has done excellent to even get himself noticed and has led the debate. If you are the member who delivering leaflets, attending drafty branch and clp meetings and doing street surgeries- Cruddas is the person you would want to help you and make you want to do it.

None of them will have any real policy making power (although i think Hain has come forward with some excellent ideas on electoral reform and the like) so it is vital we make this role a party role. Increasing members, and strengthening CLP's is what we need. Not another disconnected 'on message' politician who will have two cabinet roles as well. Jon Cruddas fills this role the best and understands the role the best.




Re: OK, who's voted for who? (#51)

by jkitleft on Tue Jun 19, 2007 at 04:30:22 PM GMT

Even if Cruddas loses, he has put his name out there, and he has a good chance at the deputy leadership/leadership in years to come, or has a good shot for the cabinet one day.

I voted for Alan Johnson as my top choice and I'm feeling fairly confident that he'll win it - but it will be close between him and Benn.


Re: OK, who's voted for who? (#56)

by Dermot on Tue Jun 19, 2007 at 08:44:09 PM GMT

1) Hazel Blears. Courage to stand up for the Government’s record warts and all. Great pedigree in the Public Sector and passionate about the Party and it’s ability to change lives for the better. Will provide the authentic voice of the grass roots activists at the Cabinet table.
2) Alan Johnson. In my view wasted merely as Deputy Party leader but may well be elevated to Deputy PM. I foy have an effective Party Chair, they can deal with those internal issues. 3) Hilary Benn.

 Wishy washy, but has been quietly effective at Overseas Development refusing to be shuffled across as he is committed to the cause.
4) Harriet Harman. Incompetent in the front line and far too close to Brown. Part of the briefing against Blair and husband Jack Dromey was the whistleblower on the Peerages non scandal. 5) Jon Cruddas.

Populist idiot. Blairite turned “radical” when he saw the chance to make a name for himself.
6) Peter Hain. Recent NS interview was a total disgrace, grandstanding to portray himself as a closet Socialist all along whilst making stupid assertions about Blair’s motivations.

Have used my three votes (Unite, GMB and BLP) to allocate a primary vote for Cruddas, Hain and Harman.

Massively disappointed in the contest; primarily because none of the candidates will have any internal/Cabinet credibility.

Exercise in futility is a phrase that springs to mind...

On a related point I'm thinking of joining the Lib Dems on the sly so I can still have a vote on who might be a future 'Laberal' Cabinet Minister(s).

Wouldn't even give Blears a vote, despite my CLP giving her a Supporting Nomination and my MP nominating her.
