Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Seeing as how she is bragging about her ability to do it, should Andrea fail in her attempt to become PM and Theresa wins, then undoubtedly Theresa would give Andrea a special EU/Brexit 'Minister level' related job.

But I think Andrea will win her MP colleagues over after the first round of voting, which is merely to select the two top choices for Leader of the Conservative Party (and the job of PM). IMHO, these two top choice names will be Andrea and Theresa.

(Funny, eh? You keep looking for a really good lady leader and then all of a sudden, two of them come along at the same time.)

Andrea knows much more about the EU (and has a wealth of leadership experience in business and charities) than anyone else. She also has that very simplifying, easy flowing communicative style, that all great leaders have.

Polling of Conservative party members who will do the final voting give May 60% against all the others. She was even 50% against Boris 38% before he dropped out.

Just because haystack's a member of the tory's and that 150,000 members
will decide who the leader is...It does not mean it will translate into votes
by the general voting public, particularly if its that slag May who wins, if
they want to gain any votes they would need someone who backed Brexit,
But I don't give a toss about the tory's.

Take the Labour party, they had a rise in their membership to near 500K
and voted in Corbyn..But its a racing certainty that they won't be voted
into power if corbyn is still at the helm.

The nationwide polls show Theresa May ahead, even among Labour voters. Only UKIP wanted Boris more.

GB - i don't agree ....... the important bit is to find a leader who can (re)unite the party ...... "out" certainly did not remotely have a sweeping majority, so to specify that any new leader should or even must be from the "out" section, could well prove counter-productive

Chris Evans stepping down from Top Gear Yippee .

Don't forget that 48% supported remain and some leavers have changed their mind. Add to that the Conservatives have more support overall than Labour, May should get re-elected easily.

"Don't forget that 48% supported remain and some leavers have
changed their mind"

I've also read several dozen people who said they voted remain, that
if there was another vote they'd vote to Leave because they've discovered
that before, the remainer's were saying the stock markets would collapse and
never recover and a world war would break out and a drought and pestilence
would sweep the planet.

They've now excepted it was all issued by a lying, deceiving, treacherous dollops
of dog shite, namely cameron and his bum buddy osborne..

if may is our pm I will canvas to back lab , she is a disgrace she hid behind her desk while the campaign was going on she NO LEADER she is gutless arsewipe

Conservative leadership election: Poll finds Theresa May most popular candidate, even among Leave voters

Around 64 per cent of Leave voters have a positive opinion of Home Secretary

Theresa May is the most popular candidate in the Conservative Party leadership race - even among leave voters, a poll has revealed.

The Home Secretary, who backed the Remain campaign in the run-up to the EU referendum, is also the most well-known of the contenders fo the Tory crown, according to the YouGov poll published Saturday.

Members of the public were asked whether or not they knew enough about each of the leadership candidates to be able to give an opinion, and those who did were asked to say whether their opinion was positive, negative or neutral. They were also asked how they voted in the EU referendum on 23 June.

Haze.

When it comes to the tory leadership election the majority of the public think of it as buying a pig in a poke.

Oik, oik.

cynic , you are a liar you still never answered grans question .
you never answer any question just abuse .
I post facts

AS FOR MAY SHE IS A GUTLESS LIAR AND IS NOT A LEADER A LEADER WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SILENT ON THE EU . SHE SAID NOTHING DID NOTHING AND IN HER JOB AS DONE NOTHING , SHE IS A DUD
AND WILL NOT GET OUR VOTES AT THE NEXT ELECTION WOULD SOONER VOTE LAB

Before the tory rat fight vote for PM is taken, are we going to see the "candidates'" tax returns and lists of overseas "investments"?

Duplicity comes to mind.

Poll of Conservative members who will vote on last 2 candidates and choose leader. May is ahead on every item.

Are people banging on about Andrea Leadsome's finance experience seriously saying what the country needs right now is to be led by a banker?

What was the sample size of conservative voters?

Not Conservative voters. The 150,000 members who will vote on leader.

About 1,000 sample of Conservative members. Figures so clear that margins of error do not apply. Statistically it is a very good sample.
