Next Conservative Leader

[RobHawk]

I honestly have no idea, I wrote to my local Tory MP to ask on his vote (after he told me in person he was out when I did) the EU ref and I got a lod of guff about how the amazing reforms the Prime Minister had achieved had swung him back, cowardice of the highest order and I wouldn't vote for him.

 

The other candidates had nothing going for them either.

 

Given my main political aim is achieved I might just draw a cock on the ballot paper or something, the child in me has always wanted to do that but the vote was always too important to me.

 

Surelly that would be classed as a tory vote!

[Mike Oxlong]

Who knows? This could be the best thing to happen to DC

A year down the line he could be enjoying a blissful existence in pig farming

[Trav Le Bleu]

Three words.

Jacob Rees-Mogg

A victory for toffs everywhere!

Can see the campaign t-shirts now

Or,

Our country needs a BJ.

You know you want one!

Teresa May, she's kept her head down during this campaign and is inoffensive to both sides of the party.

I think thats a good shout - especially as i think she would be completley unelectable!

Now this would get me voting Tory again.

[MrSpaM]

Good leader? Has a Referendum for his own gain, and then resigns when it doesn't go his way leaving the mess for others to sort out, yep great leadership that.

 

And yet he's ten times the leader Ed Miliband ever would have been...

[Dr The Singh]

Why am I not on the list

[Mike Oxlong]

The new Chappie on the block

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

Only one choice imo., and that is Michael Gove.  A very astute and able man, who would be a formidable force in negotiating our exit from the EU.

Pretty sure he's evil incarnate.

If only! Sadly I don't think he harbours any ambition for the post.

[Wymsey]

Why not Nicky Morgan.

Seems alright, level-headed and not full of herself.

[danny.]

What is the poll for though? Most evil? Most amusing photos? Most money in an offshore account? Highest expenses claims for 2017?

[Guest Sharpe's Fox]

Why not Nicky Morgan.

Seems alright, level-headed and not full of herself.

She's my MP and she shouldn't be anywhere near a position of government never mind PM. Completely inarticulate, weak-minded and a sheep to the will of others. And her haircut is absolutely awful.

She just seems to do whatever she's told.

I hate Boris. People need to see past the silly charade he puts on. I don't even think he's that intelligent.

[Alf Bentley]

Which of them voted remain / leave?

 

 

Leave: Boris, Gove, Leadsom, Patel

Remain: May, Crabb, Osborne, Davidson

 

New PM will surely be Boris or Gove. May kept her head down during the campaign, so might make the final 2, but would lose to the preferred Brexiteer, surely?

 

Davidson or Crabb would arouse least hostility in non-Tories, I reckon (or in me at least)

 

Davidson has ruled herself out, though (credibly). Osborne is a dead man walking. Leadsom, Patel & Crabb are too unknown/inexperienced at the top level, surely? Leadsom may have "had a good war", but would quickly grate.

 

Won't vote in the poll as I don't want any of the cvnts in office, of course. Would like to see them tear themselves apart in a civil war, but now suspect that they won't. Not in the short-term anyway as there's too much at stake, though a massive implosion further down the line is very possible. In the short-term, a Labour civil was looks more likely - and might be necessary for the party to survive as a credible force.

[Harry - LCFC]

Surely it's going to be one of the Brexit campaigners?

[z-layrex]

Boris all day. 

[DJ Barry Hammond]

Did anyone consider Jeremy Hunt?

He's thrown his hat in the ring on ITV morning telly just now it seems (talking rubbish by the way).

Did he offer an extra £350m per week for the NHS?

No, funnily enough he didn't, went exactly the opposite. But he was suggesting of negotiating the EU exit deal in a similar way to the JD contract, blind belligerence.

That would go down well. I presume his approach to the Russian football hooligans would be to take them on single-handed and unarmed.

 

He seems to have some strange macho psychological disorder. Did you see that strange Newsnight interview weeks back that he insisted on doing standing up, so that he could stare aggressively down at the interviewer?

Yes I enjoyed that one as James took him to task.

But I don't think even the Tory party are that stupid to indulge him so much to the extent he becomes PM. He is not a leader. Seems to be it will be a run of May vs Johnson (with Gove as running mate), which if it was the case, could be a close run thing.
