A thank god view came over me when that the faces of the old school brigade at the Houses of Parliament might be changing. With Yvette Cooper now favourite to be next labour Leader in the future and 29 year old Chuck Umunna third Favourite maybe those MP's of yesterday might fall on their swords somewhat.

However Boris Johnson is second favourite, YES second favourite to be PM, YES PM!!!



Chuck Umunna



Yvette Cooper

Chuck Umunna? Chuck Umunna what - a bus?

[Northern Sol]

Never heard of this "Chuck" and who would vote for somebody with a ridiculous name?

If his mum had named him Charles then he'd have a chance.

Anyway it is absurd to speculate on who will be the next leader of the Labour party when they've only just elected Miliband.

Chuka Umunna has just been appointed Ed Mlliband's PPS, so there's no chance of a challenge soon.

He'll do well in the Labour party,

he has a broad education: state, Voluntary Aided and independent sectors:

above all he is a true horny handed son of toil: he's a lawyer.

But he'll never be Prime Minister, or even leader of the Labour Party, because, from the photograph of him shown on this thread, he looks suspiciously as though he could be going bald.

Just imagine how much Labour Party branches in places like the Gorbals and Merthyr will be fighting each other for the right to have him as their MP. He will be the biggest Man Of The People since Mandelson landed Hartlepool.

Nonsense, he has at least 1 mm of hair.

I think the Labour Party members of Streatham, where he is the elected MP, might be a little upset by comrades from the Gorbals and Merthyr trying to snap him up. But I'm sure he knows his mushy peas!

Still a silly name then.

[Mumby Magic]

It's the bookies and the papers that are speculating not me. However you never know what will happen in politics from one day to the next, I just think it's refreshing that both seem to be young and of the minority in British MP's. Everytime you switch on and see PMQ it's largely made up of 50 somethings acting like kids and constantly baiting and belittling each other.

well somebody voted for benjamin disraeli

why is his name ridiculous?
is Barak Obama a ridiculous name?

Better bald than bearded.

[Martyn Sadler]

Better bald than bearded.

What about bald and bearded?

[Millman]

What about bald and bearded?

That's bad, but imagine that and being bespectacled. There should be a cull.

Do you expect it to become a rap battle from now on?!

[Northern Sol]

Benjamin isn't a silly name at least not in the 19th century it wasn't.

why is his name ridiculous?

Because it sounds like he is being accused of having a suspect bowling action.

is Barak Obama a ridiculous name?

Pretty much but then Americans seem to neither mind nor notice absurd names.

I get your point about the fact that MPs all seem to be of a similar demographic. However, I want my politicians to have decades worth of experience, what does at twenty something know about the issues that are facing his constituents. The Germans are surprised at how young our current prime minister is, perhaps we should ve valuing age and experience over a political science degree and a planned career in politics.

[sam]

, what does at twenty something know about the issues that are facing his constituents.

it depends, are all his constituents octogenarians?

America doe's not have a Prime Minister and a Prime Minister is not a President.
I think we had enough of Tony Blair acting like he was a President,but a black Labour PM if he or she is good enough of course
