Interview with the Ed Balls

Looks like the result tonight will probably be a good result for Ed Balls, who has just been elected MP for Normanton... it's unlikely that Blair will be able to last more than a couple of years with the severely reduced majority which has occurred. (Just hearing some pretty weird distortion on Tony Blair's voice as they're broadcasting his speech from "Trimdon Labour Club"... I love the technical hitches which will always occur in this big a media operation, no matter how sophisticated the technology.) Balls could be on to a real winner and the only question, really, is whether Blair resigns before he's got himself into a position to be Chancellor in a Brown govt by the time Blair steps down, or after. But there will be plenty of time to analyse this in the near future... I'm going to try to stick with the results for now... for as long as I can before I either become completely paralytic, or fall asleep.
