Voices: An Andy Burnham coronation is not the answer to Labour’s problems

However, editorials argue that a coronation is not the solution to the party's problems. Instead, Britain requires a genuine Labour contest. It is asserted that the keys to No 10 should not be handed to Burnham without a sterner test of his credentials and policies against other leadership contenders to ensure suitability.
