Quote: Ajw71 "Darling would be a better shadow chancellor I think and a better chancellor should it work out that way IMO.
I read somewhere that he is involved in the Scottish Referendum (although I can't recall his exact job title) so could not realistically replace Balls until next year when that is done and dusted.
Other options are limited - Ball's wife perhaps. That would be interesting.'"
Clever of the Tories to push for Darling to lead the 'joint' effort to keep the Jocks British, he would wipe the floor with Gideon on all fronts.
