LFT / Ed - it will be messy. Very messy. The activists in the Labour party are way to the Left of the parliamentary party, let alone the electorate, and they will be out for blood. Some of them will enjoy the in-fighting as much as nameless people on the Right did during the dying days of the Major administration and after...
