The next PM.

Rory Stewart- it's just dawned on me. He's the secret love-child of William Dafoe (Platoon) and the winner of the 1983 Oaks.
 
He could be the Tories Ed Milliband.
Think he's toast now anyway after saying hed back Labour's plans to block no deal.
 
Who do you want to win out of the 10 contenders
To be honest after the debacle we have experienced with Brexit I have almost given up hope with all of them. Its pretty clear that I just want a clean break from the EU and as soon as possible. I can't see any of them getting the support from the current bunch of self interested wasters in Parliament to allow this to happen. If I was drawn to pick someone it would probably be Raab or Johnson as they are the most likely to give it a try.
I hope you asked this genuinely and not as a foot in for an oppertunity for some mud slinging .
 
On a purely moral standing, should a few thousand members of a minority government be allowed to elect a PM.
Majority gov........no probs
Minority not right in my view.
Yes they should because they are the party currently in power and they are electing a new leader of the party so by default that person will become PM. If you're not happy then you'll get your chance to change the PM at the next election.

So if your mate Nicola resigns/stands down for any reason then you'd be calling for elections to take place in Scotland seeing as the SNP are a minority government?
 
Final thought on this matter (see Brexit thread). I hope Johnson is the next PM so that he can demonstrate his leadership and negotiating qualities as he takes the UK out of the EU without a deal in respect of the Withdrawal Agreement - and then negotiating a favourable trade deal with the EU - given he will have refused to pay the $39bn May signed up to and that the EU will be adamant that we owe.

The alternative? Jeremy Hunt or Gove? Well if it is Hunt then he'd better keep a wary eye on his constituency because as a constituent of his I am aware that the Borough that makes up the majority of his constituency gave the Conservatives a massive kicking in both Local and the EU Parliamentary elections - with the Lib Dems romping it in the latter. South West Surrey is a very strong Remain area; and there has been a strong Lib Dem showing in the past (less so more recent elections). If Hunt becomes PM and takes the UK out of the EU without a deal it is not outwith the bounds of possibility that he could lose his seat at the next election.

Done,
