On the one hand, I actively think that Burnham would do a pretty good job. On the other hand it would be *hilarious* if he lost the by-election. On the third hand, I&#39;m pretty sure that no matter what happens Labour will find a way to sabotage themselves. (To be clear, I&#39;d rather that they didn&#39;t, and would rather like them to just be competent and decent, if they can work out how to do that.)

Reminder for people voting in Scotland: "Independent Green Voice" are a right-wing spoiler party. If you're voting Green then you almost certainly want "Scottish Green Party". (There are no other easily confused names on the voting sheet)
