Who will be the next leader of the Conservative party?

[nicko31]

If its Gove, that's it I'm gone.

Davidson for me, might even vote Tory again if that happened

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I'd vote for this fugger:

 

[Jim in the West]

The Tories have got to find someone with a broader appeal - especially to the younger voters. Gove and Johnson would go down like a lead balloon, for different reasons. I can't think of an obvious candidate - but Ruth Davidson (if she gets a Westminster seat) would tick a lot of boxes.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Even if she wasn't utterly vacuous and useless - which she is - the party will be very cautious about electing a leader will a majority of just a few hundred or so in their constituency.

And one with so many financial skeletons in her closet as well. They'd be daft to elect her.

Nobody wants it right now. Boris will possibly have go for it after the EU exit is all done and dusted.

I think she will see it out

Absolutely no chance the Tories will let her fight another election after the disasterous campaign she's just presided over. She's blown it.

I appreciate its unconventional and unlikely but I thought it was technically possible to be the PM without having a seat?

How would the Brighton hipster gay crwod deal with having a Tory leader who was also from the LGBT community?

Some heads might explode.

David Davies just doesn't inspire me.
I like Boris and think he would connect with a lot of people (I exclude people who post on political threads on here, as I'm talking the average punter who is not really that interested in politics).
And Ruth Davidson (from the little I have seen of her) would be a really good choice. I don't know the legality of this, but I'm sure there must be a way to have a leader who is not a current sitting MP. Finding a safe seat for her at the next election would be simple.

And as [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] says, the impact she would have on the younger generation would be very interesting.

I suspect that the exploding heads would be more likely to have a blue rinse

Hobson's choice of the current candidates. Amazing how call me Dave suddenly looks head and shoulders above any of the Tories current options. How low they have sunk and how quickly?

100% this.

They'll be am summer leadership campaign and an October election.

Ah Boris, the man who talks of black children, as "pickaninnies, with their water melon smiles"

Says the man who (I believe) supports John McDonald who wanted the IRA to win by "ballot, bomb or bullet".

I don't support his comments, and, have never supported his comments, if you read my previous posts I have condemned the use of violence by both sides in NI.

I think that IIRC Sir Alec Douglas Home was PM but not an MP as I said on a similar thread.

Oh, the irony coming from you. Another poster who would vote for a pig wearing a red rosette.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Boris f****** Johnson as leader?! Have people been taking stupid pills or something recently?
