Next PM: Now we have the runners and riders

[Hamilton]

I frankly never thought I'd hear myself utter the phrase "I hope Theresa May wins." Then again, these are extraordinary times.

However, I think Gove will get in. It's the most frightening option, but I think it is what will happen.

But May's a LADY.

Don't be RIDICULOUS

 

[Seagull58]

May is a complete failure at the Home Office, did nothing to help the referendum campaign, she is more self serving than Boris. Still at least if she becomes PM it will make Labour's job at the election a lot easier

The next election is 4 years away. Will Labour even exist by then?

 

[Eeyore]

Gove, who claimed he himself wasn't up to the job, stands against Johnson- because he is not up to the job.

One market stock in the UK that is rising. The laughing stock.

Interesting. A friend of mine just emailed to say he's joined the Conservative party to vote in this, for Theresa May. He's never voted Conservative in his life. I wonder how many other people are joining and doing what happened with Labour and Corbyn getting in.

 

[Caveman]

Has Leadsom confirmed she's running for leader?

Has now and for me she is the dark horse. Comes across very well and passionate.

Sadly it will be May. As a Tory I don't like her and would have preferred Boris but hey ho. Maggie 2 coming up.

Is it not just the MP's that vote in the Conservative party?

 

[RexCathedra]

she is more self serving than Boris

Surely this would involve a violation of the laws of physics, to even be possible?

I thought the MP's whittle it down to 2, then it goes to the membership.

Theresa May - proof that the way to get on is to sit on the fence, stay invisible and wait for the others to shaft themselves.

I think you are right, but I think you need to have been a member for a certain period of time before you can vote, ruling out newcomers to the party?

Yes. I have since heard it's 3 months or something. They learnt something from Labour then.

 

[Blackadder]

I think May is a shoe-in.

as for Gove. I think MPs have to have SOME integrity. He doesn't appear to have ANY.

I thought you couldn't vote for your first 3 months of membership so this election is current members only

Not that I know for sure, might be wrong.

This poll is never going to be a true indication as NSC are Bias towards Remain.

I voted for Gove, because i hadn't realized leadsom was up for it.

Definitely not May as no 1 thanks.

I believe that is now the case. I just wondered how many other people had joined today thinking they could vote in it and do a 'Corbyn'.

She'd be my choice.

 

[Don Quixote]

They will choose Gove I reckon. Party members are never usually that smart.
