It took them centuries to get used to the idea of women leaving the kitchen. I’ve been surprised at the make up of the list (not impressed) but I’ve always thought the Tory members would never elect anyone of colour to be their leader. If they have to choose between two then mr spoiled ballots will be our new PM ….. Edited 13 July 2022 by st albans fox 1

Corky Posted 13 July 2022 Posted 13 July 2022 Can"t see Sunak being a popular PM both inside and outside of his party.
Daggers Posted 13 July 2022 Posted 13 July 2022 Badenoch: “"She's been a minister in many different departments" and people who work with her "speak very highly" of her ability to do things in government, and she has a "fresh approach".” BBC Absolutely not what anyone I’ve spoken to says about her. Words include “strange”, “aggressive”, and “odd”.

The rest will split between her and Sunak - think it’ll come down to how persuasive Davies’ team can be in convincing Sunak supporters to switch to her. Marginal seat MPs could be convinced to switch from Truss+ to a more moderate candidate based on Rishi’s polling.

Finnaldo Posted 13 July 2022 Posted 13 July 2022 Praying for a Truss/Sunak final two, would be hilarious
Dunge Posted 13 July 2022 Posted 13 July 2022 I kind of wish Mordaunt hadn’t entered for this contest. She would have been a very strong choice to pick up the pieces and make the Conservatives credible again once the Tory right had been battered at a general election. 1 1

Meritocratic. Respecting talent. Ruthless pragmatism. No regard for old school ties. Up until Cameron, wasn't it actually Labour who'd had toff PMs? and tory PMs were the offspring of circus clowns, greengrocers and servant girls? Tories also had first gay PM and first (and second) woman pm.
st albans fox Posted 13 July 2022 Posted 13 July 2022 Where will badonach and braverman’s votes go when they’re knocked out ? they could assemble behind truss and push Mordaunt into third behind sunak.
String fellow Posted 13 July 2022 Posted 13 July 2022 Just as Key-ev changed to Keev when Putin's crimes began, is Soo-nak turning into Sunnek? On Sky News today, there were definitely two pronunciations of dishy Rishi's surname. Btw, that epithet is courtesy of my sister!

Misguided and plain wrong, if that's a possible reason for her to vote for him, assuming she's of a voting age.

Did I say anything to suggest that his looks are a reason to vote for him? But since the subject has been raised, research has shown that appearance is a factor in voting habits worldwide. Here's one of various citations, all essentially saying the same thing. https://wol.iza.org/articles/how-do-candidates-looks-affect-their-election-chances/long
ozleicester Posted 14 July 2022 Posted 14 July 2022 From a distance and knowing close to nothing of each of the positions of the potential leaders... my view from Oz is that Sunak will win. He appears the most covered by our media, which is of course who decides who is in power. Puts your $ on Sunak
