None of the above is there? That one.

They will pick Ed Miliband.

It will unanimous: Jon Cruddas

That seems very late for Compass to try to influence votes with the result, as I think it would be after members have received ballot papers.

By the way, Fabian Society members will also be balloted on who they support for the leader. Along with those of the other affiliated socialist societies – like Christian Socialist Movement, SERA, the co-op party – our members’ votes will be counted in the affiliates section of the leadership ballot itself!

#2 is right. There is no doubt that they will pick Ed Miliband.

Our CLPs (they’re co-terminus so we have one meeting but count votes and nominate separately) voted tonight to support Ed Balls & Ed Miliband.

My guess is they’ll go for Eric Heffer

Sunder Katwala

Does that mean a Fabian, Christian Socialist member of the co-op party, who’s also a member of unite and is a card-holding Labour member in the normal way, gets 5 vote, or does ‘one member one vote’ mean what it says?

One with the magnetic personality

will they use AV?

They do use AV.

LOL, what a vile diatribe. You are obviously living on a different planet, Planet LibDem no doubt, well just to bring you back to earth. Firstly, the majority of the leadership contenders and Labour MPs support AV but they don’t support the cynical attempts by the Cleggron to tack on the reduction in the number of MPs to the AV bill. Since the 1930s Liberals have called for a fairer voting system yet now they get the chance to actually force it through and they’ve been seduced by a sniff of power, forgetting all pious high minded ideals about fairness Clegg is fig leafing a policy that would make Dame Shirley blush.

Your talk of moral bankruptcy is laughable, almost every major policy and campaign promise the LibDems made during the general election has been hastily jettisoned in favour of a ministerial car. Your cuts go further than anything Darling proposed and is light years away from anything a Labour government would have implemented.

Throughout the entire fucking election campaign I received more than 20 mail shots and free sheets from the LibDems telling me I had to vote for them if I wanted to “keep the tories out” and “stop the tory cuts”. I was almost swayed and many more were because the LibDems split Labour’s vote and the tories won.

So *you* can fuck right off if you think that Labour is going anywhere and the LibDems will supplant them as the official opposition. By going into a formal coalition and fronting a government that attempting to introduce policies that are nonsensical and wholly ideological they’ve betrayed millions. They will pay for that betrayal, already they’re down to 15% within two fucking months, how low will they go before the bearded morons realise the coalition agreement was in fact the second longest suicide note in history.
