Too early to say for me. Most of them haven't declared yet.

Its just a bit of fun assuming they all throw their hats in do you think will be the last two standing?

What are the chances that Rory Stewart will rejoin the party and have a go. I know he was out of the running early ish last time but he was the only one of them that (as far as I know) gave straight answers in the "talk off" thing that was televised.

Cheers Tom

Though Mad Nads as PM would certainly be entertaining. In fact, Putin's probably arranging it right now.

I just like the idea of Go Nads as an election slogan.

Dorris is Starmers ticket to number 10, i find this hard to say but she is worse than Kranky :hat: only joking folks

Not too hard surely? Sturgeon has swept aside everyone in her path for years now. The Tories (and Labour for that matter) wish they had an as effective operator as her.

 

[Rodcx500z]

I was only joking

 

[Paul7189]

That poll feels like you have posted one saying "who would I want my wife to have an affair with". Either way I'm not going to be left feeling happy...

Never mind the, er...

 

[Dutto]

That list makes me want to top myself.

I think a better idea is to promote the slogan:

Type in (Tory Candidate Name)
then ‘Scandal’!
:hat: ​

Even this guy is surrounded in financial mystery Nadime Zahawi, something to do with buying supermarkets

Labour are pushing for a vote of no confidence in the government, so there is a small chance it could be Starmer. I doubt it though. There will have to be a bunch of Tories voting to support it to work, and turkeys don't vote for Christmas.

IMO it's just another political stunt so that he can point out the hypocrisy of the Tory MPs in that 41% of them said they had no confidence in Boris a month ago, and over 50 resigned in protest against him, but when their own jobs are on the line suddenly they'll say they have confidence in him. I expect a few to abstain so as not to appear hypocritical, so here's hoping that enough abstentions will mean the vote passes

On the betting itself, it struck me a few weeks back that Starmer was favourite for next PM. And I couldn't make sense of that; the mechansim by which it could be Starmer (a snap GE) seemed vanishingly unlikely. I suppose the odds reflected the fact that a lot of fools backed him. In the same way that the odds on England winning the World Cup are always shorter than they logically should be.

The poll is showing a jump from 7% on June 26 to 10% July 7 i assume the gap will be bigger when they update it.
