I don't suppose that he will do any of these things and his failure to do so could result in Labour losing seats at the next General Election which it otherwise might hold.

It's like suggesting to the Politburo that if they introduced democracy then that would stop the Berlin wall coming down. These people seem to be so brainwashed that anything that is not to do with carrying out the agenda just seems like a totally alien idea that is not even worth contemplating.
This came to light recently when an advertising agency turned down a job they were asked to do to find out why people hated Brown so much. They seriously do believe it has everything to do with how they come across, as in what type of suit to wear, what wording to use in their speeches and that sort of thing. They seem to still think that what they are doing is for the good of the people. I doubt they even get to speak to any of them.
