I was amazed by the results of the Luntz poll that showed him to be popular because of his perceived resilience and strength whilst he has been at the home office. I believe the only new voters that Reid could possibly succeed in attracting would be disillusioned Tories who long for the heady days of Michael Howard and their obsession with cracking down on immigration. Reid has proven himself to be obscenely illiberal, dogmatically wedded to every aspect of new labour and a dour public performer. I am confident that scores of labour voters would run into our (Liberal democrat) arms if he were elected leader.<br /><br />Whether the labour party is mad enough ever to consider him as candidate i sincerely doubt... <br /><br />Andrew Lewin<br />www.currentvision.blogspot.comAndrew Lewinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00876351011604232705noreply@blogger.com
