I like Ed Balls too. I was talking more about who I think they'll go for if/when they replace Milliband. Balls just has too many associations with Brown/Blair. Burnham's the most vanilla option and I think that's who they'll go for. Umunna is bright but represents a very slick, quite elitist political class that I can see really alienating a lot of people. Burnham's problem is that he doesn't really look like a prime minister. He's very light weight. I'd vote for Ed Balls in a heartbeat but I just don't see him ever being leader.
I agree that the tories will most likely win and it depresses the fuck out of me, not least because it shows how useless labour have become that they can't even beat a party headed by Cameron and Osbourne.
