John Major was pretty sane as well given the troubles he had all around him in his party.

Just this image of his having an affair is still hard to comprehend.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
I think the talent is there for a good Prime Minister to emerge from the Conservative Party, if they actually wanted to lead.
I think Rees Mogg should be appointed now as Brexit Secretary. Like him or not, he has a very sharp mind and will not only take on the EU but also know exactly what to do in the event of a no deal.
He won't stand for any nonsense from the EU, that's for sure!

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
I'm surprised Jeremy Clarkson isn't among the leading pack

I've got some sympathy with that - but it won't happen because of his age. I voted for Clarke in the Cameron round of choice by the membership.
Had a curry with him in the eighties when he was Education & Science Secretary. Head firmly screwed onto his shoulders.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
Apart from too old Clarke is a remainer and europhile so May's fracture lines would remain as well.
Quote:
Quote from The Sun:
Furious Tories led by Jacob Rees-Mogg are this afternoon pulling the trigger on a leadership challenge to Theresa May.
Boris Johnson joined an emergency meeting of mutinous MPs this afternoon where plotters were set to launch a vote of no confidence in the PM after a wave of resignations over her Brexit deal.
Mr Rees-Mogg, who chairs the powerful European Research Group of pro-Brexit Tories, today called for Mrs May to resign - adding that a Brexiteer such as BoJo should replace her.
His decision to send a letter backing a leadership challenge will encourage allies to do likewise - putting the PM's career in mortal danger.
It comes as ex-Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab, who lit the touch paper on the crisis by quitting this morning, told the BBC he wouldn't rule out running for leader when she is toppled.

Might we get our own version of the Donald?

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
Not a chance of Jacob Rees-Mogg uniting his own party let alone the country IMO.

Like Jeremy leading the Labour party did more to boost the Tories. Jacob leading the Tories would do more to boost the opposition.
