Cook-ites?

reading news online martin kettle said cook was not as good as eulogised
only cookites may have been chris smith and brian wilson - interesting way of looking at them

Guardian Unlimited | Guardian daily comment | A man who saw politics as the art of the impossible: "This week many people are saying that Cook represented that lost soul. And so, in certain ways, he did. But he was never Labour's lost leader, save possibly in Scotland, and it's an indulgence to imagine that he was. A Cook government would not have been a pretty sight. For one thing, there never were many Cookites beyond Robin himself - Chris Smith and Brian Wilson excepted, perhaps. Maybe Cook died believing that he had a frontbench future in a Brown government. I wonder if that really would have happened. Now we shall never know."
