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.
