Who is going to win the 2016 Tory leadership election?

[brogdale]

Or maybe Farage?

 

[bi0boy]

Chuka Umunna

 

[Teaboy]

If remain wins I can't see Cameron going anywhere for a year or two. Far too much gloating opportunity for him to walk away from.

If that happens I'll just change the year in the thread title, OK?

 

[Teaboy]

But if we're voting then I reckon it'll probably be May. The other likely candidates have made to many enemies. I could only see them going for Johnson if they were desperate and defeat at a GE looked inevitable.

prison?

Thersa May has gone from 6/1 to 3/1 in recent weeks. Has largely stayed away from the civil war over EUref so I'll vote her*.

*as in vote for her in the poll. I'm not a secret Tory party member who'll be voting to decide the actual next PM or owt...

 

[killer b]

May or Hammond.

 

[discokermit]

cthulhu

 

[Sue]

Never even heard of Andrea Newsome. What about David Davis reanimating post referendum..?

 

[Teaboy]

May or Hammond.

Not Clarkson?

 

[belboid]

Andrea Leadsom, lol. She's a mother, you know.

She was a semi regular part of the Leave debate team, and pointing out she had procreated was pretty much all she did.

 

[killer b]

Ha! I'd not noticed that.

Oh. Sounds like I didn't miss much.

 

[brogdale]

Well....

 

[extra dry]

Who will be our next Prime Minister as David Cameron resigns following EU Referendum defeat

I think the country would be better served by elected local councils and just run by local votes and voices. Time to move away from prime ministers.

 

[A380]

May's played the long game. I'd put money on her.

 

[red & green]

Crazy Teresa gawd help us all

 

[SaskiaJayne]

Yes Teresa, surely nobody is daft enough to vote for Boris?

 

[SpookyFrank]

I don't think Boris or Gove can win tbh, team Cameron will sabotage them. Osbourne has no earthly chance. I'm calling it for Theresa May.

 

[SpookyFrank]

I do think the poll should have Nicky Morgan as a comedy option though.

 

[belboid]

It'll be a surprise outsider, someone like Stephen Crabb

 

[DotCommunist]

Darth May is the only one who hasn't publicly shit the bed in some way over the last 6 months

 

[souljacker]

Liz Truss, for the lolz.

 

[killer b]

Hammond. Someone who's been keeping their head right down anyway.

The John Major of our time

According to John Pienaar on 5 Live this morning, Crabb has been 'on manoeuvres' for a while. I'd be surprised not to see him enter the fray.

Young, no baggage (ie, we've never heard of him before), wouldn't take much to positon himself as a man just looking to take us all forward, whatver we voted for, and being jolly bloody pragmatic about the whole thing.

 

[Sue]

I still reckon David Davis. Long-term Eurosceptic, has kept a very low profile, not a member of the Government while all this was going on and not implicated in all the recent blue on blue action.

Might be seen as a bit old but the growing up on a council estate thing (according to his Wikipedia entry) would likely be viewed as a plus point.
