David Miliband has now secured enough nominations from fellow Labour MPs to stand as a candidate for the next Leader of the Party.
He already has the support of other ex-ministers so still remains well-positioned to win.
I hope Ed Balls will also achieve enough support to stand too.
After the coronation of Gordon Brown, which in my view, was a huge mistake, this contest needs to be as wide as possible without becoming too divisive.
I am sure that Labour has learnt from the mistakes of past spells in Opposition and will show the discipline required to unite totally behind the new leader.
This will allow the Party to fully focus on exposing the flaws in the new coalition which, I am certain, will run into trouble before too long.
