Who are you minded to vote for? How have you decided?

Leader & deputy leader.
I can't make up my mind. The commentators seem to say things about each candidate that are quite different from the impressions I get.

I like all the candidates for Deputy - I'd be happy with any of them.
It's the ruddy leader candidates I'm struggling with!

Ta 4 reply (I fell asleep counting tumbleweeds).
I was thinking Flint for Deputy, I like her feistiness. Maybe that's not what deputy should be like, though, not sure!

Tom Watson deputy with Angela Eagle second choice. I think Watson has been pretty solid on a lot of issues and brave on the phone hacking. Eagle is also admirable. I like Stella Creasy but think she's a bit young and inexperienced this time round, although she's done fantastic campaigns on stuff like payday loans.

As for the leader.....politically I'm closer to Corbyn, but will probably vote Cooper or Burnham as they can probably hold the party together and Corbyn can't command the respect of the PLP. I have been seriously underimpressed with Liz Kendall who I knew nothing about at the start of the campaign. Whoever gets it this time is going to be a caretaker I suspect.

But I really liked Ed Miliband so what do I know? Grin
