Many thanks to Richard Nabavi for posting this article by Peter Kellner on the previous thread.
Peter Kellner looks at how the Alternative Vote system Labour use to elect their leader might stop Andy Burnham winning, it should be remembered, that this voting system helped Ed Miliband defeat his brother five years ago.
If you’re not sure how the Alternative Vote system works, this link should help as should this link.
However the betting sentiment is moving strongly towards Andy Burnham.
Ten days ago, I wrote that we were close to a potential crossover on the Betfair exchange between Burnham and Cooper, how the latest trade shows Burnham’s implied percentage chance of winning the leadership has gone from 39% on the 21st of June to 50% this evening, whilst Yvette Cooper’s has fallen from 36% to 30% in the same period.
