The Labour Party is a coalition between workers represented in afflilated unions, and party members. The leadership contest is divided into 3 votes. 33% The unions, 33% party members and 33% MP's. Most (all??) unions are going 1 member 1 vote this time.
I think apples don't fall far from the tree, and this will see Benn easily win the union vote, comfortably win the party vote and as a result MPs will back a popular winner.
I think like his dad he will be a breath of fresh air.
