Burnaham won the by-election, for sure, that seat was one the safest Labor seats gong, that is why then put him there, at the last general election Labor's shear of the vote was 45%, not a small amount, now increased to almost 55% , that could be by election blues, ask the Liberals, (win a by-election then fail at a genal election.) The same, for Reform, it was their worst showing since the general election. I hoped it clipped their wings. Now the fun starts, first he still has to get 80? MP's on his side for a leadership contest, being so far to the right the financial markets will not like him, if he gets the job he will probably get rid of Rachal Reeves, because he can, which the markets will not like that, they like her as she has been doing some good on the economy, he will try and increase spending, with what who knows, borrow more? and interest rates will go up, and like all his predecessors, he will fall on his sword. Can not see him calling a general election, not with Labor's majority, that would be political suicide, and with Reform knocking on the door.
