No surprises really with that, though it should contain a question about voting reform. Balls has spoken up well on the economy, one of the few to challenge the absurd prevailing 'logic' put forward by Osborne and media cheerleaders regarding the need for cuts of an ideological scale.

It remains to be seen just how genuine Ed Miliband's supposed reclamation of social democracy is; in itself, it may not be enough, but it would be a significant improvement on New Labour if truly felt and enacted.
 
N.B. The site does not include Burnham, as apparently he didn't submit answers to the full set of questions.
