Wouldn't it, I'm bored with bozos act already and I'm sure I'm not alone

I'm no fan of Dave and I've not seen anything he's said bit until I do I'd prefer to see it as a noble act rather than petulance

Jacob Rees Mogg for prime minister!

He's waaaaay funnier than Boris.

Re: Cameron resigns
 

I still think Theresa May would be the best choice to take over.

l can't see it happening though Stephen.

Re: Cameron resigns
 

The Tories really should have Ruth Davidson in Parliament. She could be a good candidate albeit she is a Remain supporter. I think Boris would struggle if there was anyone willing to go against him of sufficient weight, the problem is it really had to be a Brexit supporter. There shouldn't be a PM who supported Remain put in charge of securing Leave's promises/vision.

Re: Cameron resigns
 

Well whoever becomes Tory leader will probably call a General Election quite quickly as he or she has only been elected by their own party and probably will feel that they have not got the electorates mandate to govern.

Re: Cameron resigns
 

That hasn't happened the last couple of times a PM resigned...

Only if they think they're going to win it - don't forget most politicians are only in it for the good of themselves the people.

Indeed Grim as the country obviously have just voted to get out of the EU but anybody who thinks politicians are suddenly going to be changing their spots will be in for a lot of disappointment in my opinion

Re: Cameron resigns
 

To be honest with you Den, part of me is hoping for an election before too long as it's good money helping out. The local/PCC elections in May and the referendum have paid well over £650 between them.

Re: Cameron resigns
 

Agreed. You really need someone who is committed to Brexit which eliminates all those who voted to remain.

Given that the referendum is over you would hope all Conservative MPs would rally round and support Boris who has put his career on the line for this and co-lead the Leave campaign, especially now as the fate of the nation is at stake.

Re: Cameron resigns
 

Boris didn't put his career on the line. If he had lost he would have still picked up support from the Brexit side of the Tory party. It was a win-win for him.

Re: Cameron resigns
 

Boris has a career ? i thought he was relatively new to the political landscape ,or are we talking about his Have I Got News For You appearances :)

Re: Cameron resigns
 

If I remember the MPs EU poll correctly most voted to remain.

I can't imagine that Boris would have got enough support to win through, especially as he has essentially been the cause of Cameron's resignation.

It may be the case that Boris has done all the hard work but does not actually get the job that allows him to carry out the job in hand.

I believe he is the bookies' favourite but life is not always fair and he may get beaten at the post.

Michael Gove and Ian Duncan Smith do not appear to want the job but we'll only find out how the Conservatives MPs feel when the candidates are announced and they actually vote.
