[Politics] Next Conservative Leader - Rishi Sunak

[The Wizard]

Boris is the only small chance the conservatives have of winning the next general election, it looks like Sunak is the only other viable option and I’ve seen better leaders in the conga line than him.

That’s not to say I like or support Boris but if Sunak the serpent is the only other option it just shows you what a complete shambles the Conservative party have become and there is no chance of Sunak resurrecting this dead horse.

 

[Live by the sea]

Where is the No 10 Cat option, sure it would do a better job than any of those scum.
It does not matter who gets the job anyway because they are all sock puppets for rees-mogg.

Scum - keep it classy eh

 

[stewart12]

milfy Penny won't get the 100 votes. Sunak will and eeeek Boris might also

Scum - keep it classy eh

Like sleazy boris?

Wallace not going for it (keeping powder dry) - now a 2 horse race, Sunak should walk it, can't believe that there are so many dozy twunts will vote for Johnson...

Count Dracula,at least he'd be up front about sucking every last drop of blood out of the population plus we'd only have to put up with him after dark.

What leadership credentials does Sunak have?

Much as Boris divides at least he has some semblance of leadership skills, the reason Boris will get some backing from within the party is because the party is in dire straights, Sunak is a guaranteed GE loss IMO where as Boris has won a general election.

 

[Eric the meek]

Johnson now the clear favourite on the Betfair exchange, which is remarkable.

Odds on what his main 3 word slogan will be:

Clean up conservatism: 3/1
Back out Brexit: 4/1
Build Britain better: 5/1
Get Brexit working: Evens
50p for Brexit: No odds offered, on the assumption he probably means 50p in the £.

Isn't one of the many/major reasons the party is in dire straights, er, Boris Johnson?

 

[Farehamseagull]

FFS, regardless of whether Tory idiots think he is the best person for the job (which beggars belief in itself), they are ridiculous for even suggesting Johnson. He will be suspended and we will lurch into another leadership circus. We need stability, this can't happen. Even the selfish, thick morons within that party must be able to see that?!

The country doesn't want the Tories to win the next general election, the country wants them to keep things stable and rebuild the economy a bit before they are forced to call a GE and then the next government can take things forward.

Individual Tory MPs want a chance of holding their seats, and for a lot in old red wall marginals Boris is indeed the best chance of them doing so.

But the longer term cost to the Tory party as a whole, and the country at large, could be huge. We need to move on from the divisive politics of the last few years, which means moving on from Boris, and Rees-Mogg, and Braverman, and Truss, and Dorries - and Corbyn, and Abbott, and so on. We simply need some boring-but-talented folks doing a boring-but-competent job of running the county, instead of treating government as a University PPE-degree thought-experiment.

If he gets to a Membership vote, Johnson wins.

That Tory Membership, as a group, have a terrible record of choosing terrible PMs.

The system needs changing.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

If it goes to membership vote Bungle is nailed on, the blue rinse clad love him, they voted Huss face because she tried to copy Thatcher.
Bungle is their darling, they never wanted him gone in the 1st place.

Mordaunt needs to stand down to stop the undemocratic liar winning. We really have fallen so far and so fast

 

[GrizzlingGammon]

Boris is the only one with a mandate to be a PM. He was elected for 5 years, he should serve the 5 years. Anything else is undemocratic and I would support an early general election if it wasn't him.

The Conservative party have a mandate.

 

[brightn'ove]

This country is unsalvageable

We're a global laughing stock.

 

[beorhthelm]

has Johnson actually declared yet? isn't he still on holiday?

 

[Bridcutt]

If you vote Tory then please block me or tell me that you do and I'll block you

 

[Bodian]

Rees-Mogg's slogan is 'Boris or Bust'

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Utterly bemused that my missus WANTS Johnson back in....and still thinks hes done nothing wrong over the last few years.
Wont hear a bad word said against him, and thats despite her working for the nhs, and voting remain in the referendum.

Speechless.
