Yeah, it could be six if they were evenly distributed.

I mean, of course, they won't be.

But I just wonder, is there anyone else who, you know, because there will be people who will take against the idea.

That's always been party politics, hasn't it?

In the sense that the party is a way to the left or the right of the electorate.

Well, that's why they've got to do better, right?

We mentioned en passant one particular group there and what their reaction would be.

And that is the bond markets.

And if the bond markets thought it was going to be Ed Miliband, I wonder what would happen to the cost of government borrowing.

And I know it's utterly anathema, and rightly so, that people think, well, hang on, how can the bond markets decide who our next prime minister is going to be?

But it does matter.

Lewis, I don't disagree with you.

But isn't it absurd?

that the insult that would be hurled and that would cost him the job is the fact that he's a Blair Wright bastard.

We don't want another person who keeps winning elections.

That would be bloody disastrous for Labour.

Well, they won't say that about Ed Miliband, to be frank.

We're not in politics to win elections.

Let's go for a proven election loser like Ed Miliband.

Look... It's mad.
