The Milibandwagon derailed - for now

The Economist this week talks about how it now looks as if David Miliband will not challenge Gordon for the Labour leadership - - not this month anyway.

Seems to me that if Miliband doesn't challenge, he's a reasonable chance of maintaining his grip on the (possibly enhanced) DEFRA, and that feels like a good thing for continuity of support for renewables and carbon capture, especially if the energy portfolio is folded into an enhanced DEFRA as a bonus for staying out of Gordon's way.

From wee Davie's viewpoint, isn't a sensible strategy to let Gordon have a run at running the country, let him lose the next General Election and then be anointed as the saviour of the Labour Party to take on Dave Cameron?
