I reckon it'll be Bojo v Raab in the final, what say you?

[dannyk13]

Yep.

[Togo]

Looks like Boris to me TTT.

Whoever is in the “run-off” will have to get through the first round. If Johnson van manage they will of course win.
All I would say about that politician is: beware of what you might wish for. He’s a liar and a shifter. Who’s to say he won’t change again.

[Spicerack]

Probably heard the exit polls that we're not allowed to know.

Mrs May making her Resignation Speech , dressed in RED, Oh Dear, think this will be A Bad Omen for the Cons.

[ichkeria]

It seems unlikely to me that TWO ardent Brexiters would get through the MP vote.
Anyway, large supplies of popcorn ordered :-)

[ichkeria]

Nothing to do with exit polls, which are not allowed until after the polls have all closed on Sunday.
She agreed to go two days ago.

[ToraToraTora]

We badly need a brexiteer to stand up to Yerp and get brexit sorted with an acceptable deal, or no deal if necessary.

[ichkeria]

The deal there already is is the only one in offer.
The make-up of the House of Commons in unchanged.
Regardless of who leads this party and this government.

[tamborine]

cons = chauvanist party!

Boris the buffoon = no brexit but Boris island airport more likely & botanics on Tower Bridge!

[Spicerack]

The Exit Polls were done yesterday, genius. Plebs like us aren't allowed to see them until Sunday. (jeeeze)

[ToraToraTora]

ich: "The deal there already is is the only one in offer. " - then we have no choice but no deal, we have to let the EUSSR know we are prepared to leave with no deal if necessary.

[anneasquith]

Gulliver, I think it’s more of an orangey colour .

[Ken4155]

The bookies have had Johnson and Raab as the 2 front-runners for weeks now, TTT - Bojo @ 5/4 in places (best @ 6/4) and Raab @ 3/1 (best @ 5/1). Leadsom is 3rd fav with some firms @ 7/1 (best @ 12s).

[Gromit]

May was the best of a bad bunch and proved to be terrible.
The candidates are all poor, so we will get someone worse than TM.
Let’s hope there is not a General Election anytime soon.

[Cloverjo]

Oh dear.

[Arksided]

Thanks ,for how much she has proneness... and with blood-money thirsty MP's in her back... I actually felt sorry for the woman.

As I explained: the polls don’t close everywhere (don’t open in fact of course) until Sunday. So that’s the rule, even if it seems odd.
All will be revealed then, tho personally I always think it spoils the surprise ...

[ichkeria]

The Tories rarely elect the favourite: Cameron is about the only one I can think of in living memory - and in times of crisis they often get it very wrong. This is a dreadful time for them to be choosing a new leader. Dreadful time for us all really.
Interestingly tho Johnson is seen as not beyond the red line for many Remain MPs in the way people like Leadsom, Raab and McVey are. I can only imagine it’s because they see him as more unpredictable on that front. After all it’s not that long ago he was seen as a one nation sort of Tory and despite how he comes across now he was the man who claimed we should not necessarily leave the EU even if we voted to do so narrowly. And did those famous soul-searching opposing arguments for each side.
Or to put it more unkindly, he may be a devious careerist who’ll sell his soul in what ever direction furthers his career.
