40/1 Steve Baker. Well worth a quid or 2. He'd be the Brexiters choice. And if they want to save their party and win back the Brexiters, then he's the best bet.

He would be the worst option

Yes this time round
he does not have the backers
that Boris , has.

Back in 2016
Chris Grayling was the manager of getting May in
that's why he was kept in cabinet jobs



He will be a back bencher , soon.

[joeysteele]

Gove I guess at least stayed in Cabinet.
He did sort of scupper Johnson's hopes last time.
Perhaps he can again.

The only ones, if I was a Conservative and had a vote, I would not want as leader.
Are,. Johnson, Andrea Loathsome and the awful McVey woman.

The ones I think from looking in on this contest, who I think could have the best chance of success, both on brexit and for the Conservatives generally.
Would be.
Rory Stewart.
Matt Hancock.
Then just in my 3rd, Jeremy Hunt.

It will be interesting to read those who strongly support the Conservative party, as to really which candidate, they would like and why.

Once you have a leader, you don't want, it can be a chore getting them to go.
Look at the farcical procrastinated drive to get May out.
Also the same currently in the Labour party too.

There is simply no point in the tories electing yet another remain leader. They tried that, and it failed. Parliament and or the electorate have to choose between a no deal brexit and revoking it. A deal is just not going to happen

They're crawling out of the woodwork... I can't imagine anyone would want the job.

I cant fathom my head around all these people coming out of the woodwork, but I think there is something behind it, as it will dilute votes and someone is scrambling behind the scenes to ensure this happens and we might get a completely different PM to who we are expecting

[Cherie]

Very house of cards

[joeysteele]

It's becoming interesting.
Surprising all these want the job at this time.

There is something behind it, Gove stabbing Boris in the back for a second time maybe

That I'd love to see Cherie.

Although I don't rate Gove either.
