The Final Two Tory Leadership Candidates Are Decided

With two rounds of Conservative party leadership elections today, the number of candidates went from four down to two. It's now down to the wider membership to decide which of the two should be our next Brexit nightmare.

It matches - A pumpkin head leader for a Halloween Brexit

I can remember ‘Spitting Image’, a brilliant show. A revival seems way overdue, soooo much material to work with.

the amount of popcorn I ate in last two years is making me sick now. But here we go again....

Why do the UK have all these strange and unfair ways of voting with obvious strategic problems?

[declanmcardle]

Why do these people still think they can renegotiate something has been already closed? And even if they could they are dealing with Sabine Weyand and Pascal Lamy types. The UK have no chance with renegotiating anything.

Well then. My Condolences to Britain.



The USA at least got a Showmaster as their Leader.

The UK only gets a Clown....

Like the background picture. Death, Famine, War, and Conquest. Will Boris prove to be all four?

[johnanthonyfingleton]

As a remainder I'm glad Boris is likely to win...there is still a chance to have article 50 revoked. But a lot depends on the Labour Party.

Johnson's a Poundland Trump, so I fear the sky's the limit.

17 million lambs opened the seals and now Boris will probably ride all 4 horses.

So basically Boris is the new p.m. already. With the way politics is going it wouldn’t surprise me if he ends up being p.m. for the rest of my natural life and I’m only 29. We are well and truly through the looking Glass. Nothing makes sense and all rationality has gone out the window

[Ladynipchick]

I don't know, it wouldn't surprise me if the wider Tory membership tilted in favour of Hunt. And that really would be a bummer. He'd be much harder to trip up than Boris. :(

[steenkigerrider]

Wouldn't it be bewildering amusing for the rest of the world if the next UK general election would be one between Boris Johnson and Diane Abbott.

Hopefully people will remember this “party before country” result. It explains why the communist party of the USSR could stay in power for such a long time.

My condolences to the UK. As we prepare to get rid of our clown one way or another, you're about to get saddled with your own.
At least it appears you can remove political leaders easier than we can?

[Kit-Talon]

Thankfully Borris will be in and out as quick as a Tory performs a u-turn. Bring on the General Election already!

[KingScorpio]

poor brits, so much pain comming from this. conservatives live through their last moments, they wont be able to survive impact of brexit

[pierrelindgren]

Varadkar will need to become a Buddah-like figure with no attachments to the physical world to get through a bumbling Boris premiership.

[BDaMonkey]

Boris for PM is a cert. Darkest timeline.

[Spedley_]

No way will Rory become PM in normal circumstances. He has morals and a brain and his own plans, no way will they or the press let him get near No. 10
