Can Labour afford to back the Ed Milibandwagon?

Notwithstanding the previous post, Max Atkinson, the rhetoric guru, asks number 376 in my series of Questions to Which the Answer is No, in a thoughtful analysis of the Labour leadership contest, in which he rephrases his headline question thus:

Now that Ed Miliband has won the backing of the big unions, whose support Ed Balls had been hoping for, the question is: can Labour afford to back Ed Miliband on his journey back to 1979 and the wonderful world of old Labour?

Update: Ian Leslie, author of the brilliant Marbury blog, asks: “Do you ever think the Questions to Which the Answer is No joke might be getting stale?”

But then he realises that it answers itself, that one.
