If the Labour inquest and leadership election is to avoid passing backwards (Blair) or sideways (European social democracy) and move forward with pace power and accuracy (a reinvented, popular and collaborative but radical Labour Party?) then this sort of review and analysis must be part of the process.
Was a good read its a pity he didnt explore more the sucess of the SNP, and their version of Nationalism/Socialism , is that a form of right wing nationalism or left wing nationalism ,we know its popular, why doesnt Labour follow that route ??
