The 'really' BIG conversation contd.

'There is a very real danger that he could do to Labour what Thatcher did to the Tories'

"There is a very real danger that Tony Blair could do to Labour what Margaret Thatcher did to the Tories, split the party for a generation... The boost in the polls that many in Labour hope for with the election of Gordon to the top job may also be short-lived. It will also quickly become apparent that Gordon is not very different politically from Tony....

He will disappoint old Labour for not being left-wing enough... Add to this that his management style is even more arrogant and exclusive than Tony and we have a dangerous cocktail for Labour."
