If Ken Livingstone wins it will pose big strategic questions for Labour
"A Ken victory will embolden Labour in its conflict with the Conservatives, to be sure, but it will also have a profound effect on the continuing struggle within the party. For if Livingstone manages to defy a national trend, winning when Labour was losing everywhere else, it will tip the scales in what has, until now, been an evenly matched argument. Ranged on one side, broadly identified with the Progress group, is the uber-Blairite view that victory lies in ever-tighter targeting of the handful of swing voters in southern marginal seats that shifted to Labour in 1997. In the other corner, associated with the Compass thinktank, is a strategy that says Labour needs to win back the 4.5 million voters it has lost since 1997 - a coalition that, according to Jon Cruddas MP, includes "urban intellectuals", ethnic minorities, public sector workers and the traditional working class." - Jonathan Freedland in The Guardian
