Anyone of any party but a Boris clone or one from his cabinet.

[naomi24]

Sorry, Ed. I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean who we would like it to be - or who we think will get the job?

[davebro]

I'm assuming - "Like it to be" surely we know who has got the job already?

[10ClarionSt]

It doesn't matter who gets the job. None of them have any idea, clueless, about life for the ordinary person in this country. The politicians see only finance and bottom line and don't understand what it means to be a family person, and all the pressures that go with it.

[1ozzy]

Decisions, decisions.
Hmm, I wonder

[douglas9401]

Somebody who will do what needs to be done without worrying about 'the optics' and other trite imported drivel.

That rules out most politicians.

//surely we know who has got the job already? //

That's why I asked. Truss seems to be a foregone conclusion.

What does it matter? You’re only gonna choose The Gargantuan Liar regardless! Lol.

naomi, I think this is in response to canary here:

Don't be ridiculous, Fatticusinch. If the question is 'Who do you think will be the next Prime Minister?', I don't think it will be Boris. Try taking a breath between posts to give yourself time to think.

[burlyshirley1]

I see Boris, so far, has the most votes.

[ABSpareEditor]

Apologies for the confusion. You can vote for who you think the next Prime Minsiter will be or you can vote for who you would like the next Prime Minister to be.

I will make sure to be more clear when we next do a poll.

[naomi24]

Thanks TTT. So it's who we would like to get the job rather than who we think will get it. I'll add my vote to the current leader in the poll then - Boris.

[LadyCG]

Well he's got my vote, that's for sure.

[ToraToraTora]

Yes naomi, as expected Boris wins hands down. We seem to have dumped the best man for the job over a slice of cake and a nonce, hey ho! Should please the poltroons.

[naomi24]

Just out of interest, is that one vote for Truss from you, TTT? I know you picked Truss in the real vote.

A pedant writes:
Boris Johnson can't be the "next" prime minister, but only the "next prime minister but one"

[Khandro]

Jesse Norman has switched his allegiance from Sunak, to Truss; - an interesting development.

I don't think it matters whom we want, Truss will have it - unless by some miracle Boris comes back by public & party demand, (my preferred option).

[ToraToraTora]

Naomi, no I voted Boris here, I'm not a fan of either Sunak or Truss but consider the latter the lesser of two weevils.

[ichkeria]

Liz Truss is doing a very good job of not appearing to know what she is doing.
