Confirmed Boris will hit 100 MP nominations by end of the day. Meaning the decision will go to the Tory membership. Tory membership polls show Boris is clear favourite.
It's looking like Bojo is gunna make the most remarkable come back in British political history. That's because they're loony. Oh and he's not favourite.

The people on the streets as you put don't have a say and that makes this circus a grotesque pararody of Democracy. Why? The UK has never elected its PMs. It doesn't make any sense for it to work that way. Surely it is right that the Conservative party chooses its leader.

This is simple, all political commentators have said the same If Sunak gets 100 or more votes (he has 125) and Boris gets less that 100, Sunak automatically becomes leader and PM. But if Boris gets 100 or more, MPs then vote for their recommendation but it ultimately goes to the Tory membership. Basically MPs will elect Sunak Membership will elect Boris

I can't find odds for Boris becoming king or I would go for an accumulator.
Bojo always has a trick up his sleeve.

They can choose who they like as leader,but after the circus we have been through that shouldn't mean he is the Prime minister causing yet more damage to the Country.

Sunak was against Tax cuts and warned about them . I called him the socalist chancellor in the tory party because of some of the ideas he can out with could off come out of labours mouth

Don't tell Morgan or he'll start hurling insults, his trigger word is 'Boris', mention that name and he's like a man possessed FFS. @ Fairsociety..... I never hurl insults. I state the facts.

No matter who wins it will take longer than six months to get our economy back on track, people back into work start to pay off our huge debts and it that does happen why call an early election? which they may lose, will the Unions hamper them all the way bring about a winter of discontent again to bring them down? which in my opinion they will try.

Sunak and Charles.
Some years ago a journalist claimed that Charles is not eligible to be king because "He is not a Christian". The journalist focused on Charles' interest in Indian religions and philosophies (especially Buddhism). Maybe Sunak (if he becomes PM) will succeed in converting our 'Head of State' to his way of thinking?
A few decades ago there was an advert (two pages of it!) in one of our national newspapers that declared that HINDUISM was superior to all other religions.
Sunak says that he is "a proud Hindu" ... but Hinduism has far more varieties of belief than does Christianity (there are even Atheist Hindu philosophers). What "kind of" Hindu is Sunak? Does he have a "pet God" that he "worships"?
His name ... 'Rishi' ... means "Hindu sage"

Is it just me or has any one else noticed I've never observed Sunak talking to members of the public.
He very rarely gives interviews because he's visibly uncomfortable talking to people, in fact he's very much like Starmer both unapproachable lacking in charisma, all the qualities that make them unelectable.

After Crash Gordon made the mistake of talking to the Public most politicians have tried to steer well clear..
