WHO DO YOU FANCY FOR OUR NEXT PM, AND WHY?

maxidcat you do realise that Farage is a career politician too don't you? He pretends to be a man of the people but he really isn't

They are such an appalling shower. Imagine a country run by Boris Johnson. He objectively made a hash of being Foreign Secretary. Why anyone would then think he would make a decent Prime Minister is beyond me!

I'm not happy with any of the Tory party - or any of the others. However, we have to have a PM, so I agree with Urmstongran - Boris because i want to leave.

I don't like any of them. If I had to choose it would be Rory Stewart first, Hancock second, Hunt and Javid third.
Worst PM s in my opinion would be Esther Mcvay very closely followed by Boris Johnson. Leasdsom and Raab.

It's beyond a car crash.
Brexiteers say they want democracy returned to this country. Yet the new PM is put into post by the votes of the Conservative Party members (majority elderly and from the leafy shires).
Democracy? Not on your life.
And there's Boris's attitude towards business. Who can forget his succinct, thoughtful, intellectual response to a question about the concerns of top business leaders towards Brexit? I quote, 'F* business'.
Choose from one of this lot? Not one of them will do anything for the working class.

I admit I can be old fashioned; I have serious doubts about the character of someone who has had multiple high profile affairs and been unconcerned about fathering children of women who are not his wife. (I don't mean outside of marriage per se, I mean whilst he was still married to Marina!) Petronella Wyatt had a termination and Helen Macintyre had a daughter by him. I cannot view this as responsible behaviour.

I tend to have the feeling that someone who is routinely that dishonest and untrustworthy within their own family is probably not a trustworthy individual in public life.

I accept this is an outmoded view. I also have thoughts about someone old enough to be a grandparent running about with a twentysomething but I know that is the way of the world.

I'm backing Boris, but after the next election we may have Prime minster Farage.

I think unfortunately Mr Johnson will get in. I dislike them all so much I won't use their first names That's for people I like and trust.

Winterwhite. Interpol has nothing at all to do with the EU. Interpol is an international agency, NOT an EU agency.
As for counter-terrorism the UK leads the way and Europe fiollows.....as they will continue to do.

Frightening isn't it funkygran.

The Saj

Farage and proper business people is what we need. The present lot of career politicians could not run the school tuckshop.

Is anyone really serious abt leaving on 31 October without a deal despite what is said everywhere about cannot be done in time? Not just medicine shortages, but no counter-terrorism agreements, no Interpol... Would the voters who just blindly think that the Tories must 'do' Brexit because they said they would be happy with that result? What on earth is wrong in saying that it has proved too darned difficult?

Does anyone think Theresa May was not too bad after all, now we have learned more about the front runners?

Yes we are all exasperated that Brexit isn't done and dusted, but honestly, was it really her fault?

Now look at who we have left. Who has the most integrity to represent us? I honestly don't know.

Your problem is that you do not believe in democracy.

Me.

I want Ian Hislop foe PM

Well, we’ll, well! Interesting views - I don’t really know. They say the favourite doesn’t usually win. In this case I think Boris will win but I think Gove might be better, in that no one is going to laugh at him and he seems very keen to do well. Rory S is a strange one but I don’t think it’s his time now. He needs fattening up a bit - he looks ‘a bit’ ill? Can’t really understand the appeal for Boris - it’s all a bit of a worry. I don’t think he’s capable of behaving. It would be nice to have a normal looking, smart, clever, trustworthy guy in the line-up!!

ABSOLUTELY ( yes I’m shouting) agree with Maisie. Yay Maisie. For all you still unconverted leavers , I suggest you watch Years and Years on BBC. A v prescient picture of what is around the corner. People who support Boris can’t be real Conservatives ( who would admit that publicly anyway) because we always get family values pushed down our throats from them and HE has none. Multiple affairs, wives, children and at least one ‘ love child ‘. How is he not Elite. Just like ex banker Farage. They have no idea at all of what normal life is like let alone for those in poverty.

Yes, the majority who voted to leave 2016 was tiny: 1.27 million, meaning a swing of only 635,000+ would have brought a different result. 33.5 million voted out of a population of around 65 million. Put it another way, 37.4% of voters voted leave, 34.7% voted remain, 28% of the electorate did not vote and 62% did not vote to leave. And now we have career politicians furthering their careers on the back of this.

In defence of Lindylou I think she was quite right to highlight Like and Bet and it never occurred to me she was shouting.

martin321. I think you have summed up very well. As for Johnson, are we really to be expected to applaud him and his 30 year old mistress as they enter no 10? She is the daughter of a family friend which just proves the depth of his moral code. Pitiful

What a shower they are - not one of them with any integrity or even ideas. Bojo will become PM simply because he's the only chance the Tories have of seeing off Farage & Co - it's all about saving the Tory party and to hell with the rest of us.

I'd like to see Boris get the job. Anybody but Corbyn and the Labour Party!

makes it look a bit rude
