Callaghan and Brown were PM but succeeded one of the above?
They don't seem to know how to pick 'em.

I know. That's why the are unelectable. Only a small minority of the public are thick enough to vote for the hard left (or racist/bigoted enough to vote for the hard right) so they will never win an election.He would never be acceptable to the Corbyn brigade. There's a reason why they are working with such a narrow pool.
It's not random chance - they've designed the system that way.
Thoughts from Norn Iron.
Catholic parties 37.6% of vote; 9 seats
Protestant parties 42.3% of vote; 8 seats
Gerrymandering?
Also 50% of winning candidates RCs; must be a first

Starmer is too wooden but is probably the best option. Another Grammar school boy and a rich lawyer. He'd fit right in with the Irish Labour Party!Keir Starmer probably has what it takes. Whether he would be selected is another thing.
LibDems also looking - again from a small pool
He was made leader by people who were "young student activists" 40 years ago!So Cornyn is finished, the young student activists that made him labour leader were wrong, he was not popular, hard left socialism while popular with the media is not popular among the vast majority of voters.
The Irish government should take note of this result there is only so far they can push their new green environment policies , people will not accept extremism in any form.
It was the change in the criteria to become a member of the labour party where you only had to pay a pound to become a member that elected Jeremy Corbyn. Then hordes of students joined and voted for corbyn like sheep . They were too young to remember the disaster of 70s Britain and the summer of discontent.He was made leader by people who were "young student activists" 40 years ago!
New green environment policies... will you go way outa that.

I really wanted to like Joe Swinson but she just didn't have the charisma or delivery to take her seriously.
