With the Labour Party languishing in the latest set of polls – recording in one poll its lowest rating since opinion polls began in the 1940s – a third place finish looming in next month’s local and European elections, and rumours of a challenge to Gordon Brown’s leadership building in Westminster, what should the Labour Party do next?

We would like you to help us crowdsource this topic by adding your thoughts to The Independent’s interactive visual map of the choices the Labour Party faces – and to start the conversation and debate we have included some initial issues on the map. The map also offers you the chance to signal who you think should the lead the Labour Party into the next election and why.

For example, you can develop the arguments for and against Gordon Brown continuing to lead the Party:

...or begin to the build the case for and against the potential contenders, such as Alan Johnson (who is the next participant in The Independent's Ask the Question series – following on from Yvette Cooper).

This map is different to the earlier maps in the series in that it is exploring the topic from a particular institutional perspective (i.e. the Labour Party's perspective). Future maps will consider what strategies the other parties should be pursuing in preparation for the next election, as well as examining reform of the political system from a non-partisan perspective.

As ever, if you would like to embed the live map on a blog or your own website, you are welcome to do so using the embed code below:
