Questions for slugger readership on the Labour Election

Mick is on holiday and has asked me to do the following:

Clearly the Labour leadership election has been the source of many stories both on slugger and elsewhere (helped by both it being the silly season and the interesting nature of the campaign).

Unusually for such an election, any of us can vote by becoming a registered supporter (see link here).

To try to get people to think about it and to try to see their reasoning we would like you to try answering the following four questions preferably with explanations for your decisions:

Who would you vote for No.1

Who would you vote for No.2

Notwithstanding your votes who do you think will win

Finally which political party would you normally vote for identify with.

By all means explain, debate etc. but we would like people to try to answer those 4 questions.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
