Its probably an unpopular view but sadly Labour haven't won an election without Tony Blair since 1974; 41 years. Blair was on the money when he said that 2015 could turn into an election ""in which a traditional left-wing party competes with a traditional right-wing party, with the traditional result"".
Labour were at their best building the broad coalition they had in the nineties and early 2000s. I hope they party don't fall back into this misguided view that attempting to appeal to middle class people in the south of england it somehow against the principles of the labour party. Without the support of voters across the entire country they'll be out of power for a generation and as Teflon Tony once said "Power without principle is barren, but principle without power is futile".
