I was hoping the Labour Party would wake up and ditch the mantle of the 'New Labour' and return to 'Old Labour'. I was hoping for Diane Abbott to win and bring Socialism back to an increasingly Neoliberal and Corporatist party.

You Brits can have fun with your future years of more Tony Blair's.

Although Jewish, Ed is not a practising Jew because he is an atheist. That will mean that he is NOT a natural supporter of Israel's policies. His father was a student of Karl Marx and was buried near him in Highgate Cemetery, London, so, if Ed ever becomes Prime Minister, he will be the first atheist Prime Minister whose father was a Marxist. He will also be the first Prime Minister who is unmarried and has children.

Yes, a good break from the past, I would say.
