(I asked a Labour Party hack why its supporters mostly looked askance at me whenever I prattled excitedly about a PM premiership being best thing for their party and their country.)
This was the response I received yesterday:
Very few indeed would want him as Prime Minister. It in fact marks
people out as not being of a Labour inclination.
I replied:
Surely no one, however Scargillite, would object to a fourth term if this could be arranged? Perhaps it should be put this way to the members and Peter Mandelson's talents talked up more.
Julian Glover 's fantasy "PM PM" piece, Jonathan Freedland comparing him to Richelieu are virtually hagiographies.
Perhaps it will be enough that the Guardian and the BBC want this?
It would make a great story, and Oleg Deripaska would be in the picture somehow.
If Peter Mandelson gets a girfriend the press and public would love him for it.
You can exhume Old Labour but not revive it!
