Is Gordon Brown The Modern Michael Foot?

Everyone is claiming that a Ken Livingstone victory tomorrow would be good for Brown, I am not so sure, it would not be difficult for someone to make the claim that Ken won despite Brown and therefore that people are willing to Vote left-wing, but not for New Labour.

So a Livingstone victory could spark a left-wing revival in the Labour Party leaving both the Blairites and the traditional wing of the Party fighting for power, with Brown stuck in the middle with nowhere to go. It could also create a massive left/right split in the Labour Party - Gordon Brown would become New Labour's Michael Foot!!

Here's hoping for a Boris victory anyway.
