They're only going to have a single MP - wow, the vote has clearly destroyed the Tories !

Boris won't get in. The Cameron allies knives will be out to cut Boris up politically. It's going to get very dirty for the Tories.

Well spotted, and congratulations, you must be delighted.
Yes, mods, any chance you can change that 'MP' in the title to 'PM'?

Wasn't May a remain supporter? They will be beyond the pale in a tory vote for leader. Its going to be Bojo.

Gove more likley that Boris imo, its about who the MPs and wider membership like, not the media.
for and outsider... Hammond. even more than May, he has been anonymous throughout campaign, which is a bit odd for foreign secretary, but positions nicely as a unity candidate.

So if the Brexit side coalesce around one candidate, be it Johnson or Gove, that guy is pretty much guaranteed to become the PM. It just gets better doesn't it

Round here in "blue" Sussex we've seen many voters vote to elect Cameron in May 2015, then vote for Brexit in June 2016, thus signing his political death warrant.
It makes you wonder why they didn't vote UKIP in the first place.
Hammond and May were conspicuous by their absence. The problem is they WERE both REMAIN. The Tory shires have voted LEAVE, it just feels only logical that the Tories have a leader and deputy that are both themselves LEAVE. The problem there is the leading candidates for those two roles are, respectively, Boris and Gove, so you get the same elitist problem you have with Cameron and Osborne.

I think it will be May v Gove/Boris. If May is against Boris she would probably win if it's Gove I would guess he would win. I think whoever is PM negotiating our Brexit needs to be someone who really believes in the course we have taken which means Gove .... sorry.
