If Labour change leader before next election we should elect a left winger not a right winger

I support the present leader of the Labour party because I am loyal. Plus I still feel we can win the next election with him. But if we do change before the next election. We should make sure a real left wing leader is elected. What is the point in wasting the remaining time in government on a right winger if that is what got us into the position of replacing another leader in the first place.
The mainstream media are presenting right wing candidates, lets go for a moderate left winger. Not someone who scares the horses but a moderate left winger with high intellect.
I say start campaigning for left wingers now. Do not wait until it is too late, when their will be too much right wing pressure on who should be the new leader.
I am NOT calling for destabilisation or for people to campaign for the present leader to be removed just, that people will be ready to put forward a real left wing candidate if we do change the leader.

My policies I would support would be;

1. Increase income taxes for those earning over 80,000 a year a new higher rate of income tax added with higher rate.
2. Cut taxes on the poor : This will ensure real financial redistribution.
3. Scrap Nuclear energy and use Wind turbines and other renewable energy alternatives.

If we do have to change the leader of the party again we should not have right wing leader hoisted on us. It should be left wing leader. So I will start putting forward real alternatives rather than the other candidates. I am sure if we do no prepare we would probably have a far more right wing candidate hoisted on us than we do at present.

My priority is higher income taxes and scraping nuclear energy for better more efficient renewable energy.
