I am no more in favour of an alliance with New Labour than I am with the Conservatives – though if it delivered PR I would have to think hard.
But why tie ourselves to authoritarian war criminals. The culpability of Miliband in particular in strenuous efforts to cover up UK complicity in torture, should make it impossible for any Liberal to work with him.

That should be food for thought for anyone considering New Labour leaders touted as more acceptable to the Lib Dems,
