Ah. So it's going to be one of those leadership elections...

...but then, aren't they all? :-/

Very well summarised! All much much too confusing...

I think it might get clearer though...
1 - Labour will be forced to the left as back benchers get increasingly obsessed with defeating Blair - and as Brown looks to differentiate self from Cameron's charade of liberalism
2 - When Labour go to the left, Cameron will spring the trap and go back to the right (a bit) in order to keep the Daily Mail and most of his party happy
3 - Lib Dems will sink into oblivion...
(I hope the last doesn't happen, but it isn't looking good...)
