Think it going to be Boris

[ToraToraTora]

assuming he makes the final 2 Boris will win with the wider membership. On the subject of nodeal/Prorogation, not necessary, just sit on hands till Halloween.

Have to agree . The Problem with Boris is, Lip Before Brain.

As I have said earlier, Maggie was born on 13th October, not the 31st.

If the final votes are on the 22nd June, why is the result not known for about another month. Could be to fiddle the figures?.

[Cloverjo]

Oh dear. Looks like we’re going to have the dreaded combo of Boris and Trump. It seemed like a huge, terrible joke when this seemed slightly possible 2 or 3 years ago.

[Jackdaw33]

The first two then go to a ballot among party members countrywide, hence the delay.

[Jackdaw33]

It may be a dreaded combo to you, Clover, but to many it would be most welcome.

[Davemano]

^^^ Thank you Jack, I'd missed that part of it.

My problem with Boris is that I don't trust him.

But all the others are dodgy, aren't they?

I want a No Deal Brexit, not because I want to leave on bad terms in any sense of that phrase, but because I know that the only "deal" which the oligarchs will agree to will amount to some form of vassalage.

I think his vaunting ambition and his retention of the main bargaining chip will enable Boris to "force" a last minute concession from the oligarchs which will yield a deal which both Remainers and faux Brexiteers who want to keep their seats for as long as possible will vote for, but will be a form of vassalage rather than the independence which was what the 2016 referendum was all about.
