UK Conservative Party set to choose new Prime Minister | USA TODAY

Maverick Boris Johnson or manager Jeremy Hunt: Who will be Britain's new prime minister?

Britain's next leader will either be Boris Johnson, regarded as an eccentric, gaffe-prone populist who draws comparisons to President Donald Trump, or Jeremy Hunt, who has a reputation as a steady pair of hands, but whose commitment to delivering the country's exit from the European Union – Brexit – has been questioned.

The winner – chosen by an internal Conservative Party vote because Britain elects a party not a prime minster – is expected to be announced on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, current Prime Minister Theresa May will formally submit her resignation to Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. May is stepping down over her failed Brexit plan. She will remain a member of Parliament for now.

Hey, peeps in the UK. Once you guys leave the EU, just wait till you start seeing your healthcare system dismantled, and replaced with the US "system" and insurance companies. Hope you enjoy piles of debt, with a side of non-existant diagnosis and prevention.

"Narrow Margin" or not, the people have spoken!

Getting ready to elect their own Trump. Here's hoping the brits have smartened up since their disastrous decision to leave the EU and have paid attention to what kind of international damage an American Trump can do...

Holding a stinky dead fish. Yep, that’s him.

You'll need a Cajun to cook that for you.
