New Tory Leader ?

[mikey4444]

We have seen the main contenders all grandstanding this week in Manchester....who is going to replace dave in a couple of years time ?

My money is still on Boris !

[Hopkirk]

I expect it will be George.

[Sqad]

Morning mikey...........long time 5 years.
Tories never pick the favourite.
I doubt very much that it will be Boris.....

For me......Priti Patel.......I fancy her rotten.

Seriously,...Philip Hammond.....a safe pair of hands....quite, unflappable and always in the background.

[Hopkirk]

Perhaps a Jim Hacker will emerge.

[dannyk13]

Osborne or May.

Boris is something of a popular clown, he's fine bumbling around London, would probably fit in nicely in Europe but I imagine the joke would get old fast if he was PM.

[Svejk]

Hammond's a bigger liar than Cameron.
So you could be right, sqad. ;)

[anotheoldgit]

After her speech on immigration which upset the media, not just the BBC but ITV also, I will go for Theresa May.

[Sqad]

Svejk.......LOL......if you are going to tell a lie........tell a BIG ONE.

[Hopkirk]

Boris plays the clown Iggy, but he far from it.

I suspect he could attract more floating voters than the others, which may be the attraction to the Tory members.

[mikey4444]

Morning Sqad !...yes, she is rather dishy !

If I recall the Yes Minister scripts correctly, Jim Hacker was elected Leader precisely because he wasn't someone else....ie.. ...anybody but a certain other candidate, and the Tories have already had one of those. Major was elected because wasn't Heseltine ! Medium tern solution but a long term disaster.

May always looks so cross all the time ! I had a Teacher like her when I was in primary school, and she always scared me to death ! I still reckon on Boris !
I have said this many times before, but beneath that thatch of carefully-ruffled hair, lies a very astute mind. He is sharp as a tack, despite all his clowning around. I am far from being a Tory voter, but I wouldn't mind betting that Boris would be a great bloke to spend an evening or two in the Pub with !

[Jomlett]

Hammond always looks as though he's been sprinkled with dust...no chance as leader!

[Hopkirk]

IDS?

Been there, done that.

Too quiet.

[mikey4444]

Hoppy....IDS bolloxed it up years ago......Anyway, nobody likes him...even in his own Party !

[Hopkirk]

I wasn't suggesting IDS, Mikey.

The dog from Neighbours did.

[ToraToraTora]

Bojo or Tezza but it really doesn't matter, whoever it is will kick Jezza's aris.

[Gromit]

I no longer think it will be Boris. He needed the Tories to lose the election and dump Cameton in May. As that didn't happen, I think he will fade in the next 5 years. Probably Theresa May.

[mikey4444]

Fade ?

Shine on you crazy diamond !

[Togo]

Boris is in the box seat at the moment. But if Nicky Morgan performs well over the next couple of years she may have a chance. She has been likened to Joyce Grenfell, which may not harm her chances. Haha.

[Hopkirk]

The fact that a Labour voter like Mikey has positive feelings about Boris is probably the reason it should be him.
