A new viral quiz asks ‘Which Labour Leader Are You?’ and the internet goes wild [TWEETS]

The Labour leadership contest is hotting up. The public is rallying against the NEC, the media is banging out slurs against Jeremy Corbyn, and Owen Smith is blundering through his own campaign. At times like these, it is down to one or two like-minded individuals to create something the internet will go wild for. It just so happens that, this time, it is a ‘Which Labour Leader Are You?’ quiz.

The quiz, created by ‘Great British Politics’, asks a series of questions to discover which Labour leader you are most similar to. The questions include quotes, policy decisions, hobbies and even newspaper preferences.

The quiz, which was published a few months ago, has just taken off in a big way. Given the current media hype over the next Labour leader, it seems to have captured the imagination of the public, who have been responding in their masses. While some are treating the quiz as a joke, others see it as a real commentary on their personality, which makes for some humorous reading. Some have been particularly happy with their results:
