'Dream ticket' or a nightmare?

If rumours are to be believed Harriet Harman, the Labour Party's esteemed Deputy Leader is positioning herself to make a push for the leadership of the Labour Party when either Gordon Brown is appointed Global Finance Guru or loses the next General Election (which appears favourite) She is attempting, it is said, to put together a 'dream ticket' of herself and Jon Cruddas as the answer to Labour's woes and to restore left wing values.



Now my only query is why a bright spark like Cruddas would ever want to associate himself with Ms. Harman. This woman has reached and stretched beyond the level of her own incompetence on more than one occasion, most notably when she pissed off Frank Field, a man with ten times her intelligence, who in 1998 resigned from his job rather than report to Harman. She was found out later that same year and left in a cabinet reshuffle.



She has failed at several posts and was censured during her successful Deputy Leadership campaign for failing to declare several donations on time. Though she claims to have a 'left wing agenda' she voted for the Iraq War in 2003, later saying she wouldn't have done had she known all the facts. Wow!! Some of us, Harriet, saw it as morally wrong from the outset!!

If this woman becomes leader of the Labour Party then its death knell will be well and truly sounded in my view. She shouldn't be put in charge of a whelk stall!
