Nigel For Tory Party Leader ?
'Nigel Farage has topped a poll on who should be the next Tory leader, with Suella Braverman second and Boris Johnson third.
The Express asked readers who they thought should replace Rishi Sunak as he faces a crisis over the Rwanda scheme.
As of 6pm yesterday, more than 5,000 people had voted in the survey on this website.
Mr Farage, the former Ukip and Brexit Party leader who is currently taking part in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here, came first with 41 per cent despite not currently being a Tory member'

I remember Matthew Parrus saying at the time that he'd be better to let a lot of them defect to UKIP because of course Roy is quite right: that is a wasted vote in the long run: in the short term it may cause electoral grief but ultimately as we see time and again the two main parties in our system always prevail.
The problem with the idea really was that they might not have left - not enough of them anyway
ichi, //What I've not been able to find is a poll on how the Tories would fare nationally with Farage at the helm //
I think the Express poll indicates that. The top three are all right wingers & Farage got the clear majority from them. If it was 'for real' I think he, & by extension the party, would do very well & claim back the red wall which they are about to lose big time as things stand.
