On Ed's victory

I highly recommend Compass analysis of Ed Miliband's victory . (they did support Ed despite Cruddas backing of David but their analysis has a lot of Cruddas way of thinking in it) It can be found on http://www.compassonline.org.uk/news/item.asp?n=11170

The following is an extract which is particularly significant:

"Next comes the AV referendum. Labour simply cannot be against this small improvement to our discredited voting system. This opens up the issue of our relationship with the Liberal Democrats. This is the other big political challenge facing Labour; how to move from being tribalists to pluralists. The days of single party government may be over for good. The choice in the future could well be coalition or the wilderness. There is a huge number of Liberal Democrat members and supporters aghast at what their Party leadership have saddled them with. We need to work carefully to bring them to us".
