 | | All others than Bryan Gould, however, quickly made it plain that they would not run against Smith, although Prescott stayed his own man, criticizing the contest for being “sewn-up”. |
 | | Gould’s standing was strongest in the PLP, where he got 7 of 30 net percentage points, and in those CLPs that ballotted their members, where he got on average 30%. |
 | | Such was Smith’s lead that Gould and his campaign coordinator, Blunkett, threw in the towel in advance, after having experienced difficulties in even finding the necessary 55 MPs to endorse Gould’s candidacy, both for leader and deputy, despite rumoured support from Kinnock. |
