And why would that make difference? Boris should have told the little squirt to get stuffed and see who succeeded at the ballot.

You'll need to ask Boris. It is strange he has quit so easily though. :-\

Prime Minister Gove.......Hmm not sure about that. :-\

I think the problem is that world leaders would struggle to take Boris seriously.

I have a vision of Boris turning up with clown shoes, a loud check suit, and and a squirting flower in his lapel.

......not to mention the comedy buzzer in the palm of his hand.

Great fun but........ :-\

By stepping to one side at this stage in the game means he can probably still further he's career in Politics, or by talking the bull by the horns now and possible messing up or not getting his deal from EU, game over.

Whoever takes over will end their political career... If they don't initiate article 50 then they will be voted out by the leave team. If they do then the remain lot will vote against.

That's a simplified version but... ::)

Exactly, and anyone who has watched Boris in action should be aware that he has no skills to even pretend to do the job. Like him or loathe him, it is impossible to deny that he is a very capable politician, but his value to the Conservative party has always been as a rabble rouser. My prediction that he is elevated to the House of Lords soon still stands.

I suspect Boris, being the canny man he is (though pretends not to be) he may reappear next time round. As said, whoever takes over will be the man in charge of the battered, disabled ship, limping to safer waters. All the graft will be done by Macaroon's successor, who will eventually be booted out for 'ruining' the country, leaving someone else to take the repaired and repainted ship  to triumph...ish.

In a way Churchill immediately post-war was wrong, but once the dust had settled, a certain amount of nostalgia had set in, he sat well in the 50s when he returned as PM.


Note: I am in NO way comparing Churchill to Boris, though!  ;)

Indeed, I also think this is big win for the tories. Labour is continuing to tear itself inside out, more so than anyone expected I think. If they can just get on with the job, do this without a massive and divisive leadership battle, they will emerge in a relativity good place.

Perhaps a deal with May and Gove with May being PM and Gove leading Brexit process, I would not be surprised at that.

Then potentially Clinton in the White House? A May/Clinton relationship could be good for UK/US relations, far better than Trump.

May the new Thatcher?  ::)

Agreed.

I do have a problem with a woman taking hold of the reins.

It is not the natural order of things.

It's just the way was I brought up.

Women are superior at cooking and cleaning. Men are better at running the world.

Everyone should do what they are best at. :)
