Who is going to be the Next Prime Minister of the UK? | Be your stubborn best

One of them was in tears :(

It was Nadine Dorries :lol:
 


I'm thinking Johnson and Gove knew they'd be called up on lie after lie of their campaign if Boris got in to number 10, so instead they entered the no-hoper of the two of them in to the leadership race so that they could still maintain their position of rebellious people's champions - "well if we'd have got into power we would have fulfilled our promises, and we did try".
 
Guardian said:
Final five candidates are: Michael Gove, Theresa May, Steven Crabb, Andrea Leadsom and Liam Fox
Those would be the last picks in a PE football game, never mind running the country.
 
Joke of a party.

Labour really should be taking advantage of this but alas...
 
Does this change Boris' endgame? He wanted to pick the pieces up post-negotiation with Cameron anyway, this effectively will serve the same purpose and I imagine he will not lose too much face amongst his core support?

He doesn't care. He's played his role, so he'll just go back to writing his gadfly journalism for £250000 a year.

He might now get a few years to serve in the cabinet and try and come across as a serious politician capable of being PM rather than his current image. You felt this was handed to him on a plate, though, and he still didn't take it.

Think a lot of the Tory party have now started feeling the same way about Gove as the rest of the country do.
 
Boris should have just run for it and if he didn't get in.. he'd still be able to say, if only you picked me I would have etc etc. Like this he has just committed career suicide.
 
:( Jeremy Corbyn is currently king of the North, we're fecked.

If the North's was lead by Cobryn then the North would show up in Robert's rebellion unarmed. Surely Corbyn wouldn't considering arming his men at the trident.
 
Stephen Crabb addresses the problem of his much-criticised views on homosexuality:

"I welcome this question and would like to answer it head-on. Look! There's a pteradactyl over there!" *points, runs*

I started to hate him when he started going on about playing rugby. Who fecking cares.
 
Please can anyone remind me on who had won the referendum?
 
Am I right with my assumption that either way the only winner will be most likely Farage and Ukip?
If the next PM doesn't pull the trigger to leave the EU, Farage will have a field day destroying the spineless tories and if May/Gove do indeed leave the EU and everything ends up worse he'll complain that the UK was shit at negotiating with the EU under their lead and claim that he'd have done a better job.
Either way he'll be sharpening his knives
 
When Thatcher fell, Heseltine was the chief opponent, and he was charismatic with lots of support. However, it was the boring nobody, John Major, who prevailed, even after Douglas Hurd also threw his hat in the ring. I don't think we've seen who the next PM is gonna be yet.
 
That boring nobody was a decent PM in relative terms.

But what we need now is arguably a filibuster like May for a few years - just please do not put her in charge for any longer.

Real opportunity for Labour but so difficult for them to get rid of Corbyn and unite behind someone. David Miliband perhaps?

Hezza's heart problems counted against him iirc. Major was the chancellor, not exactly a 'nobody' within the party!

Wasn't he sacked from that career for lying? So a career with News Corp it is then.
 
i think May seems like the most likly, she seems the most uniting..... I can't se Gove getting the job he is hated by too many, both within the party and the public.

can't say any of them fill me with much hope or confidence, just makes you think is this really the best the country has? but at least Borris has dropped out
 
Appropriately, that photo looks like a promo pic for an obscure new BBC2 comedy.
Somewhere Armando Ianucci is watching and thinking 'I can't compete with this'.
