So, for an outsider, who would it take to unite and save Labour as a political party and electoral force? Andy Burnham, should he decide to return to national politics? Is there anyone else who is realistically up for the task? Is the task even possible at this point?
For someone actively and emotionally involved in the (lower case l) labour movement, the current state of Europe’s traditional Labour parties is quite sad (even if my own party is, arguably, profitting from it.)
