For me it’s Ben Wallace or Liz Truss. No idea how good either would be but for some reason I am drawn to them.

who do you all think it should be?

Ben Wallace has stepped down.

A labour politician!

Yup!

User5935702 · 09/07/2022 15:51

If it ends up being Rishi, I won't vote in the next election, unless Labour get their act together and get someone decent in, I'm a floating voter

curiousitygotthebetterofme · 09/07/2022 17:52

Bit disappointed Ben Wallace isn’t standing in the leadership election, I was hoping he would get it.

and no I certainly hope it’s not rishi!

But if people don't go out & vote we will most likely end up with... Rishi

That's good then, people please save your votes, we want Rishi

caringcarer · 09/07/2022 23:44

Most likely Suella Braverman as she has said she wants to cut tax, reverse additional NI contributions and look into Brexit benefit of taking VAT off fuel.

caringcarer · 09/07/2022 23:45

Wallace says he is not running for PM.

Atomicspider · 09/07/2022 23:55

Deborah Meaden

None. I’ve yet to come across a Tory MP who wasn’t self-serving.

Thatwasthenthisisnow · 10/07/2022 00:25

Gordon Brown. And I wish it was 2010 and we could all laugh about how the country would have been ruined if the Tories had been voted in.

I agree, if you don't vote you can NEVER complain about the Government that gets in...

Although I do think voting should be compulsory and there should be an option of the ballot paper of 'None of the Above'

Summerwhereareyou · 10/07/2022 07:57

User I'm floating also!

No one in either party is appealing to me at the moment

Summerwhereareyou · 10/07/2022 07:59

Caring?

Reverse national insurance?

That came in this month?
She won't be able to reserve it and why should she want too!

StopStartStop · 10/07/2022 08:00

None of the declared. I'd like a committee strong women to back Miriam Cates and help her maintain her honest clear-thinking whilst in a position of power. The world would change.

maravais · 10/07/2022 08:07

Kemi Badenoch, I guess

They are all Tories.

shedwithivy · 10/07/2022 14:49

The more I read about Sajid Javid, he seems like a really decent guy.

Suedomin · 10/07/2022 14:50

Keir Starmer

balalake · 10/07/2022 15:55

Of the declared candidates and those expected to run, Sajid Javid. I would have chosen Ben Wallace.

I have never voted Tory, but until the 2024 general election, want the least worst option.

curiousitygotthebetterofme · 10/07/2022 19:14

Does anyone know when we’ll find out who the next PM is? And if they may be take up position earlier than the autumn?

DappledOliveGroves · 08/07/2022 22:28

Don't know if she'll throw her hat in the ring or not but I do like Kemi Badenoch and think she'd be a good leader.

She is our local MP and has been beyond useless. There is no way she should be PM.

We will know tomorrow when 1922 committee set out the timetable.

At the moment there is talk of it being over by end of August begining of September

ifonly4 · 10/07/2022 19:43

Definitely Savid Javid, possibly Jeremy Hunt. I will be watching the contest closely over next couple of weeks, so may well be I change my mind as I don't know that much about some of the others.

curiousitygotthebetterofme · 10/07/2022 20:18

Sajid Javid or Jeremy hunt I wouldn’t mind either

Boris should be out. Shouldn’t be allowed to stay
