Who will be the next prime minister (October 2022 edition)

[bimble]

He would if he had the second highest number of votes. I still haven't written him off. The most convincing factor for me is that the consensus on urban (that has been consistently wrong about world events for the last twenty years) are saying it's impossible.

I don't think it's impossible, BJ2, if only because in their desperation they the party could say he's the only one with a mandate from The People etc, which would be sort of true.

This is why I’m not making specific predictions now. The people who get a vote are in a different reality.

Headbanger reality.

Headbanger reality.

Hunt is “a safe pair of hands” as chancellor.
Johnson is “a proper grown up politician” and “popular with the public”.

When's the deadline for nominations?

Rees-Mogg is a human being.

When's the deadline for nominations?

100 support by Monday lunchtime

I think it’s Tuesday.

Ah, Monday.

You know that thing where you can't tell if people are taking the piss or being serious? That's how everything feels right now.

Some Tory MP saying we need a mature approach to politics now which is why he'd like to see Boris Johnson back. (He's made some mistakes but haven't we all so hey.)

That was a red wall tory i.e. one that will def lose his seat unless Boris is PM.

How will only one candidate get over 100 votes if they keep eliminating them until there are two left?

He means 100 nominations not 100 votes

On the basis they always elect the wrong person it's going to be Mordaunt. Imagine the membership vote will help her and make her less likely to agree to some sort of pact with Sunak.

ETA: I hope all of this is wrong.

 

[Cid]

whatever happened to the RN commander?

The RN acting sub-lieutenant.

 

[quiet guy]

Can Truss stand again? She's learnt the lessons and will be fantastic if given a second chance

She'll come back after Bo-jo gets the boot again.
