My money is on Lord Blackadder Michael Gove. Michael Gove doesn’t appear on the BBC’s list of likely successors, but how much do the runners-up really want the job?
BoJo’s Conservative Party has been completely crushed in recent by-elections. Next Leader no need to call an election until January 2025so it may take a few years for the new leader to try to repair voters’ trust.
But unless there is a radical change of direction, policies that actually address the cost of green energy in the crisis of living that Britons are experiencing, it seems likely that the new leader though Who they are will not outlast the current congressional term – which could clear the way for second-level candidates like Gove to bet their political future on a leadership bid.
