Not the point.
However you might want to chew over this.

The Labour party has grown more than 120,000 new members this Summer. That is twice the number of Liberal Party membesrhip.
This make the Labour membership greater than tories, libs and greens put together.

This article from August in now our of date, another 60,000 have joined making the total 330,000.
These are not the £3 a go voters.
This does not include the associated members and registered supporters.
This support the biggest increase in 64 years is in the face of a disgraceful and systematic attack by the media.

Don't get me wrong it brought a fair lump to my throat and a tear to the eye to listen to his conference speech but I have a fair memory of how the 'trots' work and I'm pretty distrustful of some of these 'new' members. Disliked Blair but I think he was right that the center-ground is the way to win UK elections and JC, if he sticks to his old-guns, hasn't really any new ideas and brings more than enough of a target for the right-wing press to slaughter him at the next GE. Still, I'll give him my support despite my misgivings.
