Is Kemi Badenoch A Serious Contender In The Contest To To Be Party Leader And Pm?

[sandyRoe]

I admit I'd not heard of her until recently.

[ichkeria]

I’d say if she makes the final two, yes

[ToraToraTora]

no chance.

[ichkeria]

A black lady with the name “Bad Enoch”

It’s hard to knock that :-)

[davebro]

no

[Ken4155]

Currently 5th fav, she's a much shorter price (12s) than Hunt, Zahawi (both 33s) and Javid (66/1). Someone must think she's in with a shout.

[Mozz71]

It would be an interesting appointment to see a black woman in charge of the Tories, but I can't see it happening.

[Gromit]

No.
Her profile is so low, she is practically invisible.

[Kardashev]

seems very low profile to me though no 2 among the party faithful so if she gets to the last two, who knows.

[Gromit]

The sample is only 848 people.
Kemi is only 12 votes off being top. I suspect people are lying and not giving the pollsters their true voting intensions.

That'll be a first!

[ToraToraTora]

yep, Gromit, No doubt the party members are playing silly burgers with the meeja! I've not been asked but I'd certainly not be giving them my true intentions if I was.

[ToraToraTora]

Most of them won't have heard of KB until yesterday!

[Untitled]

the media would only need to come on answerbank to learn your intentions toratoratora

[naomi24]

I thought you were supporting Penny, TTT?

[ichkeria]

MPs will know Ms Badenoch v well and like I say if the makes the top two - after who know knows what horse trading and manoeuvring - then who knows

[Atheist]

Your Answer...Never mind Kemi; what about Rehman Chishti?

[Ellipsis]

> Is Kemi Badenoch A Serious Contender

No. I think, for her, this is all about the next leadership contest, and what she'll be doing between now and then - i.e. a seat in the Cabinet of whoever does win, and then being a serious contender next time around.
