Interesting Scenario- I've never seen a roadmap of a 1994 election with both Brown and Blair, but the assumption is that Brown would probably win. The weird nature of the old Labour election system for leader divided up the section into three colleges- Trade Union/Members/MPs. Unless Blair could get more than 50% in the first round, the number of 2nd and 3rd preferences going to Brown would most likely sink Blair. Although Blair's asset was his support from the Shadow Cabinet/Media, meaning that Brown would be denied a base to run from

Basically 1994 could end up a lot like 2010- the least divisive candidate would win.

Answer wise- naturally Blair/Prescott.

Ugh why is Beckett deputy? In every role she's had she manages to flip, and do something she latter regrets.
