Who will be the next Tory leader? Cast your vote!

This morning The Guardian ran a piece on the potential Tory leaders should Theresa May lose a no-confidence vote.

The race to replace Theresa May: the likely candidates

Which of these seven do you think will take the top spot? Or is there another candidate that the Guardian haven't considered?

Some discussion already here - next Tory leader will be - but no poll.

 

[maomao]

Some cunt.

yeh well there's no leadership poll yet, but i think maomao's hit the nail on the head already

Yes, but which cunt?

 

[Pickman's model]

tbh if may had any political nous whatsoever she'd do what john major did and resign the leadership and challenge her 'bastards' to put up or shut up

 

[Pickman's model]

Yes, but which cunt?

cuntydum or cuntydee

 

[clandestino]

I have a horrible feeling it'll be Jeremy Hunt - just because nothing seems to be able to stop him. Oh god.

 

[dessiato]

I've voted Hunt because his surname rhymes with what I think of the Tories.

I can see it going to Boris because of his profile. God help us if he gets it.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Some cunt.

That's cheating.

just one left-turning lorry...

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Hopefully none of them.

 

[clandestino]

If you vote someone else, please state who that someone else is.

 

[moochedit]

Hopefully none of them.

You a rees mogg fan then?

 

[Sprocket.]

Graham Brady?

 

[farmerbarleymow]

You a rees mogg fan then?

Fuck no. None of the tory party.

 

[Pickman's model]

Fuck no. None of the tory party.

corbyn then

 

[cupid_stunt]

TBH I've not followed those named enough to know which are the biggest cunts, and the Tories so often end-up surprising me with their choice, like Major & May for example, so I've no idea. Mind you, Labour & the LibDems have a habit of doing that too.

I bloody hope it's not Boris, we seem to be enough of a laughing stock ATM, we don't need to make that worst by putting a total fucking clown in charge.

Javid has impressed me a little with both legalising medical cannabis, and getting to grips with the total fucked-up Windrush situation, but beyond that he could be the most evil of the lot.

 

[Chilli.s]

Mogg the Merciless, just for the lols.

 

[Poi E]

Could be Keir Starmer.

 

[killer b]

that's a bleak list isn't it? I'll go for 'someone else' - Rees-Mogg reckons he isn't interested, so the ultras must have someone else in mind. Steve Baker perhaps?

 

[Poi E]

- Rees-Mogg reckons he isn't interested

The Crown must be offered to him.

 

[Sprocket.]

Gove contemplates running for leader a second time.

 

[SpookyFrank]

How is Raab a candidate? He did nothing for six months, then quit in protest against his own policy.

 

[SpookyFrank]

I think Rudd's both insane enough to want the job and ruthless enough to get it.

 

[Kaka Tim]

Very much depends if May falls before brexit is resolved one way or another or after.
If its before - you are likely to see a big push for "safety first"/caretaker candidate. Gove? hunt?
If its after - then it far more open - and the result could split the party. Especially if its Mogg or johnson.

 

[Winot]

It won’t be one of the ERG. Reckon they are shooting blanks. My money’s on Hunt and has been for some time - look at the way he fucked the NHS and then got out on a high of promising imaginary money. A slick operator.

 

[cupid_stunt]

If its after - then it far more open - and the result could split the party. Especially if its Mogg or johnson.

As if it's not already split.

Isn't it depressing that both the main parties are so split, don't we deserve better than these bunch of fucking clowns?

Rees Mogg definitely isn't shooting blanks - have you seen how many kids he has?

Seriously though, I reckon Gove or Hunt, but those two being the favourites says something about the state of the party and it isn't good.

Yep, the malevolent, narcissistic psychopathy is strong with this one.
