While the race to replace Tony Blair is no race at all - Gordon Brown's is the only name in contention - the Labour party is seeing a competitive contest to replace John Prescott as Deputy Leader. Hillary Benn managed to finally get the parliamentary support necessary to enter the contest (every candidate had to get the signatures of 45 MPs to enter the race), so there are 6 contenders. The Guardian has a very impressive page devoted to the contest if you are interested in learning about the contenders or in following the campaign.
