Let's be done with all this media speculation. It's so uplifting when a Cabinet Minister refers to the Labour Party rule book as he did in his Guardian
article citing a section from Chapter 1, Clause IV (FOUR) printed on the Party card.
Fast forward to Chapter 4 Rule B 2 (ii). Bring out the garlic, stake and cross. Woaaah...rules are for little people...well, if they are good enough for David - now widely acclaimed as Leader-in-waiting at least by the fourth estate and
Political Betting, they are good enough for me.
This is how Chapter 4 Rule B 2 (ii) starts:
ii. Where there is no vacancy, nominations shall be sought each year prior to the annual session of party conference.
Quite so. Don't worry, Gordon you don't have to do a Major and resign to play a 'Put-up -or-shut-up' gambit. You just have to be humble and submit yourself to a democractic process designed to give your fellow Party members a chance to signal whether you have their continued support or not. So are you up for it? More critically after David's article is he willing to lead the charge?
