2. I don't agree with the assertion in that article...
...that knifing Gordon Brown prior to the election would have done Labour any favours electorally. For proof of why, take a look a the current Labour leadership contenders. None of them is exactly setting the world alight.

I don't think leadership contenders ever set the world alight, do they?
