    How the shadow cabinet voted in the leadership election


    By Ned Simons
    - 8th October 2010

    It looks as if David Miliband supporters have done quite well out of the shadow cabinet elections, with ten members of the new front bench having voted for him in first place in the leadership ballot.

    Five members of the new team placed the eventual victor, Ed Miliband, in first place.

    The top three MPs in the shadow cabinet elections all voted for Ed Balls first, although this includes his wife Yvette Cooper and Balls himself – both of whom declined to use their other four preference votes.

    Here is how the 19 elected members of the shadow cabinet ranked the leadership candidates on the ballot.
