THESE are very different days from 2007 and the groundswell of support for a truly inclusive leadership contest is growing apace- boosted by the power of the blogosphere.
LabourList, arguably the most mainstream of all the Labour-supporting blogs, today released poll figures placing John McDonnell THIRD on the list of preferred contenders. I urge all MPs to take this poll very seriously. They will not be easily forgiven if they take no notice, disenfranchise the left and bar all sections of the Party from having their place at the hustings. This time the grassroots and trade unionists who are backing socialist candidagtes must have a say and a real choice between different political directions. We now need to keep the pressure on - so far we have managed to extend the deadline. How about the NEC reducing the threshold to ensure all six a place in the debate.

But David Miliband in the lead.
Its an exhaustive ballot system, though. This doesn't favour David Miliband as few voters will switch to him
