Re: Leadership who is the next PM?
Majority of voters think Boris Johnson would make a bad PM.

Many voters have a “distinct antipathy” towards Boris Johnson, which could hamper his chances of winning a future general election even if he delivered Brexit, the Conservative peer and polling expert Robert Hayward has said.

Quote:

“There is a distinct antipathy towards Boris,” he said. He pointed to a recent YouGov poll that suggested as many as 23% of respondents who had voted Conservative in 2017 thought Johnson would be a “very bad” prime minister.

But Hayward argued that Johnson must also show what he could do to win over non-Brexiters. “He has to complete the sentence,” he said.

There is also analysis available this morning that suggests, among those who might be persuaded to vote Tory, that Boris is the most popular.

Fact is the public don't get to decide who the next PM is. Just a load of right wing OAPs do.
How is he going to be PM from behind bars anyway?

He's not been found guilty yet and people are all already urging him to complete the sentence!

Wrong ... the Queen decides, on advice as to which MP is most likely to have the confidence of Parliament.
Political party members always choose their party leader. That has always been the case, so there’s really no point in all this confected outrage every time a leader changes mid-term.
As remainers never tire of reminding us these days, we live in a Parliamentary democracy. We do not, and have never, directly elected our executive. That’s equally the case when your favoured party is in government or in opposition.

Maybe true constitutionally "Chris", but in real life the next leader of our country will be chosen by 0.26% of the population.

No, they will be nominated that way. They get, and keep, the leadership job only as long as Parliament has confidence. And we do live in a parliamentary democracy, right?

Hypoctites? How so? Did any of Trumps comments come anywhere close to altering a national democratic referendum?
Had he been in power at the time of the referendum and did the same as Obama you can be sure there would have been the same outrage.
