A few months ago I'd never heard of Dominic Raab & I still know little about him, but we all know Boris for good & for worse. Boris, before he entered politics proper, worked & lived in Brussels as a journalist reporting on the EU shenanigans, and so he knows - like Farage, a lot about the organisation, which is a more than the likes of May or Hammond do & which has led to the mess which he would be the best contender to get us out of.
In fact, if Gove hadn't stabbed him in the back just before the last leadership challenge, he might have been PM now & we would be clean out, that's for sure.
