Tory leadership?

[cee-dee]

OK, how about saying who your preferred winner would be and predicting who will eventually win?

I'd prefer Leadsom but I think May will probably win.

Just for once..... is it possible to just stick to the topic?

[mikes*corvettes]

Another vote for Leadsom.

Very calm under pressure and passionate about Brexit.

[right-then-petal]

Theresa May ✔

[margaret*e]

Not much of a choice, but I like Leadsom.

Can't stand Theresa May.

[cee-dee]

I hope we're not due some underhand shenanigans?:-

Leadsom.

One of the Scots lol- how ironic that will be

[upthecreekyetagain]

I want to see the duplicitous Gove win so that if/when negotiations with the EU hit difficulties he can't say it wasn't his fault.

I agree she's not very bright (she just thinks she is!), I watched her stumbling the other day on Andrew Marr!

Good take on it in the Guardian by Frankie Boyle:

"This current divide must be especially sad for the Tories. The idea that Europe, the place where they buy their cheese, the place where they took their first five mistresses on minibreaks, the place where they cried at Hitler’s bunker, this collection of potential second homes,

this was the place that tore them apart. And so we have a Conservative leadership election, a sort of X Factor for choosing the antichrist. Already, the cast looks like the episode of Come Dine With Me they show in hell before Top Gear comes on"

They said Brexit would be bad for the economy but look at all the job openings that have been created. Prime Minister, England manager, UKIP leader and Top Gear presenter.

Andrea Leadsom. (Just surprised that the surly, flint-faced Anna Soubrey, hasn't thrown her hat into the ring).

[celticthebhoys585]

There's plenty of candidate's for those jobs down in "Jaywick"

I'm so glad Anna Sour-berry didn't, that woman annoys me.

Andrea Ledsom is my choice.

Just seen the Guardian Latest news:

Theresa May wins first round,Liam Fox eleminated"

Dirty business this politics lark 

[evoman3957]

Yes joe.......from BOTH sides.........do try and remember that.

[cee-dee]

Crabb's dropped out now and he's backing May.

[023mjc]

I'd like it to be Leadsome, but I think it will be May.

[vamo48]

It will be May, but not sure if that's a good idea

[baybizz]

I wish we could vote for Nigel Farage - he is the only one I would trust to get this Brexit over and done with quickly and cleanly. My first Tory choice would have been Liam Fox, but he's gone. I don't trust Remainer Theresa May to push Brexit through, and her record on immigration and border controls does not inspire much confidence - which, ironically, probably helped to swing the vote to Leave:

So it's either Gove or Leadsom.  I'll go for Gove, but Leadsom would be OK.

Remember, the majority of Conservative MPs are Remainers... but the membership, who have the final say, is largely Brexit...
