Interesting comment on the Guardian website today:
"How on earth can anyone in their right mind vote for a Party whose members cannot agree amongst themselves HOW a leader is to be elected, let alone WHO??? This whole episode will be a disaster not only for the Labour Party, but for the whole country. Like it or not, Labour are the ONLY party which could provide effective opposition in Parliament, if it could get its act together. Currently it provides no viable opposition or potential government. Also, I still believe that the Sturgeon/Salmond axis in Scotland could still lead to a further referendum to enable Scotland to join the EU after Brexit. I also believe that whilst it would be a close run thing, the vote would be a narrow victory for the separatists. If this were to happen, the opposition benches would lose 56 seats, bestowing a disastrous majority on the Tories of over 60 seats, and consigning Labour to oblivion"
