My Candidate For Leader

After the events of yesterday, it is clear that none of the protagonists is fit for the post of Leader of The Grand Ol' Labour Pain. Last night I drew up my own shortlist of candidates. I believe that each one of these has the requisite characteristics to make an excellent Party Leader. Several of my nominees have the additional benefit of being deceased and thus unlikely to cause the Party any further trouble by opening their mouths.
