Will Rees Mogg's views on abortion and gay marriage harm his chances of being PM?

I think they may well increase his chances of being PM. I wonder what his views on the death penalty are?

He is honest and very analytical. Having said that, this persona he cultivates is an affectation and that is very odd. I know his family and they are not like that.
His views and voting pattern are very far to the right of the Tory party. I don't know! Perhaps the Conservatives will go for him ( there's no great field of candidates is there?) but I would like to think there is no way the public would vote for him. We all like our eccentric characters ( Bono was briefly popular) but surely we are better here in the UK. at seeing through personality to thevpolicies.

Sorry that was meant to be Bojo - as in Boris Johnson.

I suspect, given Brexit right wing WWC vote and repressed middle England/English at prayer he might have gained quite a few votes - but an alliance with DUP would be ruled out.

"Under his Eye" springs to mind.

I remember John Redwood being put about like this when they wanted to oust Margaret Thatcher.
I'm wondering who else might be in line for the job while everyone is concentrating on JRM.

No. He's good on Have I Gor News for You. That's all that matters.

I can't see Mayhem getting down from the stage to do this...

"I disagree with everything you are saying . . . about abortion rights, women's rights . . . there are people who are dying . . . yada yada yada .."

Oh, wait a minute, did he actually say there are people who are dying? And abortion rights?

What a flinging retard!!!

Well it certainly didn't harm his chance of being leader of the house.
