Who would YOU choose as Tory leader?

[Sid Bishop]

My guess is Gove v Johnson in the final shoot out !!

So - it's Alien Vs Predator then.

But in the match up between the two, Predator ended up as the ''Good Guy''

[Clive Evans]

It's gotta be Jacob Rees-Mogg, him & his nanny would slaughter the rest of the World. He is so polite, you just don't realise what a toad he is. Johnny Foreigner really goes for that sort of thing. Believe me, when I worked for BT International, the politer the guy on the other end of the phone, you know you would get the least amount of co-operation. Especially true of 3rd World Countries. He would go down a storm on the World stage.

Hunt can’t be trusted, the mans a remainer to boot so he can go do one.
Gove is I believe the smartest of them all, but he proper did bojo in last time so he can’t be trusted
Stewart is someone to watch out for, I think it’s come too early this time and as a remainer won’t get the job, but he’s a potential pm next time round.
Javid is not smart enough, struggles to make his points clearly and is a remainer, so no chance for him either.
Raab intrigues me, seems smart and on the button, would like to see more of him to see if he has world stage credentials, I think he let himself down by being mays poodle.

Nigel Travis.

Nigel Travis.

What a good idea !!

Stewart comes across to me as a ''Hand Wringing'' Liberal. Also like Gove, has an ''Image'' problem in that he does not come across as the strong and assertive leader type that is liked by the Conservative grass roots. Johnson can only be stopped by his fellow Tory MPs, if he survives to the final two, then feel sure that he will be chosen as the next Leader.

LETS THOUGH A NEW NAME INTO THE MIX



BIG COOK
LITTLE COOK
sign please.....

[EliotNes]

NOT Boris

[Scuba Diver]

Would be Sajid Javid for me.
Dragged himself all the way up from Rochdale, where his Dad was a bus-driver, to be MD of Deutsche Bank, before politics, so clearly got a lot about him, and you would hope can identify with the common man.
As others have said though, he won't get it due to his ethnic background, as the Tories need to rely on the gammon vote too much.

Compare that to Labour, where Abbott only got her post (seemingly) because she is black. A white woman with her meagre 'skill-set' would never have been appointed into that role.
A modern juxtaposition if ever there was one..

....

I thought it was because she was sh*gging Jeremy Corbyn

''Compare that to Labour, where Abbott only got her post (seemingly) because she is black.''
Also her past ''Friendship with Corbyn must have helped a bit ?

[ComeOnYouOs]

Stewart seems a very reasonable fair man, calm and measured, and not a chest beating right winger, so he would be my choice, though I doubt he will get further than the final 6or7

Exactly cos she is not in the role on merit or skill sets. She is an embarrassment.

[Chief crazy horse]

That's quite a surprise. Now I know why one of my least favoured candidates is the favourite choice on this board.

In a dramatic swing to the left, Attilla the Hun throws his hat into the ring

Seriously? That's your assessment of the man?

Yes, I'm sure an ex MD of Deutsche Bank is very in touch with the ordinary man.

[Howling Mad Murdock]

None.It's all a waste of time.

[WickfordO]

Jeremy Corbyn.

[DaggerHam]

The Rt Hon David Lidington CBE A true Tory, while Gove is a out and out opportunistic liar.

[Howling Mad Murdock]

Like the Brewsters Millions film (1985) "None of the Above."

[Sid Bishop]

You like Stewart so much, in actual fact might be a good move to persuade him to move over to Labour and replace Corbyn, then you are home and dry for the next election !!

[LittleMate]

Gove seems a nice enough guy, honest and intelligent, but can you imagine him on the world stage as our leader? In the nicest possible way I have to say, he looks a bit of a plonker..

Agreed. He has the mass appeal of a Michael Foot, Neil Kinnock, IDS or Hague.

[tuffers#1]

Tony Blair of course.

Proud Thatcherite
