Although I’d sooner see Rory Stewart win, that seems unlikely.
There is a lot of nonsense being talked by most of the candidates just now about Brexit for example.
Whoever takes over faces the same issues their predecessor faced.
Only two candidates have addressed that: Raab and Gyimah: trouble is Raab’s solution is outrageous and won’t happen, and Gyimah’s is not supported by the people he needs to vote for him.
So round and round we go. Waiting For Brexit.
Gove’s big plus is he has a plausible foot in both camps, is very personable and persuasive, and very competent.
He’ll need to be.

his expenses claims were not all they should have been.
Over a five-month period between December 2005 and April 2006, Michael Gove claimed more than £7,000 on a house bought with his wife Sarah Vine, a journalist, in 2002. Around a third of the money was spent at OKA, an upmarket interior design company established by Viscountess Astor, PM David Cameron's mother-in-law.[126] Shortly afterwards he reportedly 'flipped' his designated second home, a property for which he claimed around £13,000 to cover stamp duty. Gove also claimed for a cot mattress, despite children's items being banned under updated Commons Rules. Gove said he would repay the claim for the cot mattress, but maintained that his other claims were "below the acceptable threshold costs for furniture" and that moving house was necessary "to effectively discharge my parliamentary duties". While he was moving between homes, on one occasion he stayed at the Pennyhill Park Hotel and Spa following a constituency engagement, charging the taxpayer more than £500 per night's stay.
Gove's second home was not in his constituency, but in Elstead, in the South West Surrey constituency.
