An analysis of the candidates for the shadow cabinet reveals that 29 supported David Miliband in the final round, three did not vote and only 16 backed the new leader. Whilst the abstainers (Ed Balls, Yvette Cooper and Diane Abbott) as well as a few of David Miliband’s erstwhile supporters such as Angela Eagle may now be expected to back the Leader against those who may seek to resist change, it unerlies the need to ensure that the Shadow Cabinet has a majority for change.
The detailed voting is shown in this table, grouped by first preference. Final round preferences are indicated with David supporters shown in blue and Ed supporters in red. Names in bold have been members of the shadow cabinet, al least since May.
