So who will accept the poisoned chalice?

I only vote because it is my duty to do so. Like many others, I vote to keep certain people out, not to get anyone in particular in.
I don’t think it makes much difference who wins. They are all full of promises they don’t keep. I fear for this country that it seems impossible to find anyone who can actually lead. It’s frightening!

Agree Mollygo

There will be massive recriminations, arguments and jostling so they won’t be much up to opposition for a while.

They would be wiser to either persuade him to stay, or appoint a caretaker, for a lengthy period to oversee a carefully considered strategy for how the Tories can best be an effective opposition and position themselves for a credible chance of re-election in 5 years.

But I bet they don’t.
