How would you have voted: UK leadership elections

[Phony Moderate]

Labour:

1922: In hindsight, Clynes. At the time, probably MacDonald
1935: Attlee
1955: Bevan
1960: Wilson
1961: Greenwood
1963: Wilson, Wilson
1976: Benn, Foot, Foot
1980: Foot, Foot
1983: Hmmm....probably Kinnock at the time, but Heffer in hindsight.
1988: Benn
1992: Smith
1994: Could have voted for Blair without hindsight....the Tories had been in power for fifteen years and (like most Labourites) I would have been pretty desperate to get them out. Beckett with hindsight though.
2007: Brown - but McDonnell if he had got onto the ballot
2010: Ed Miliband, Abbott, Burnham, David Miliband, Balls would have been my preference list.

Deputy leadership elections:

1981: Benn, Benn
1988: Heffer
1992: Gould
1994: Beckett
2007: Pretty difficult this one, but my preference would have probably been: Cruddas, Benn, Johnson, Harman, Hain, Blears  

Conservative:

Imagining myself as a Tory for this....

1965: Maudling
1975: Heath, Prior
1989: Meyer

1995: Major
1997: Clarke, Clarke, Clarke
2001: Clarke, Clarke, Clarke, Clarke
2003: Howard
2005: Clarke, Cameron, Cameron

Liberal/SDP/Alliance/Liberal Democrats etc:

1967: Lubbock
1976: Steel
1982: Jenkins
1988: Ashdown
1999: Preference list: Ballard, Kennedy, Hughes, Rendel, Bruce
2006: Another preference list: Hughes, Campbell, Huhne
2007: Huhne

My votes in Tory leadership elections based on who I think would have made the least electorally successful leader:

1965: Powell at the time, probably. No idea how a post-ROB speech Powell leadership would have turned out....don't particularly like to think about it.
1975: Well, certainly Thatcher without hindsight. With....hmmmm....probably one of the minor candidates on the second ballot. Peyton, I suppose.
1989: Thatcher had become rather toxic by this point, so her.
1990: Major lacks charisma, but managed to run a pretty effective campaign in 1992. So probably Hurd on the second ballot. Thatcher on the first.
1995: John Redwood
1997: Peter Lilley
2001: IDS, quite obviously. Sorry Phil.
2003: No real contest
2005: Liam Fox

1970: Foot
1971: Foot
1972: Foot
1976: Foot ("Will there ever be another deputy leadership ballot without Foot's name on it?" must have been a question at this point )

There is no ballot when there is only one candidate.

Doing it again, with brief comments:

1922: Ramsay Mac - the anti-WWI candidate
1935: Attlee, obviously. As if I'd vote for Mandy's grandad or a pre-war George Brown.
1955: Nye, although I quite like Gaitskell in some ways.
1960: Wilson, if mostly for factional reasons
1961: Greenwood, ditto.
1963: Wilson. George Brown as Labour leader...I mean if you think Corbyn is doing a bad job.......
1976: The go-to "look at how there were more heavyweights in the old days of politics!" leadership election. Probably Foot, definitely not Woy.
1980: Shore, then Foot. Quite like Healey though.
1983: Maybe something like 1. Heffer, 2. Shore, 3. Hattersley, 4. Kinnock out of bitterness.
1988: Benn, definitely.
1992: Probably a sympathy vote for the oddball Gould.
1994: Prescott, Beckett, Blair. Quite easy.
2007: Johnny Mac had he been nominated. But I was glad that Blair was finally gone. Meacher actually attempted a run here btw; must be the British equivalent of Gene McCarthy 1992.
2010: Supported Abbott at the time, but in hindsight it would have been 1. Burnham, 2. Balls, 3. E Miliband, 4. Abbott, 5. D Miliband.
2015: Actual vote was 1. Corbyn, 2. Burnham, 3. Cooper, 4. Kendall.
2016: Actual vote went to Corbyn, would rather he'd have stepped aside in favour of Johnny Mac though (but that wasn't really an option).
