Boris is resigning today.

You can't survive with most of your cabinet wanting you to go.

What happens now? Immediate elections?

His party has to choose a successor.

What happens now? Immediate elections?

There will be a leadership contest among the conservatives, like in 2019 after Theresa May resigned. Boris will probably stay on as a 'lame-duck' PM until Autumn unless a caretaker PM takes over. I'm reading that the defense secretary Ben Wallace is the favorite to replace him.

One of the factors keeping Boris in a job was the lack of decent options.

I can see why Ben Wallace is the favourite amongst Tory voters right now, he is a straight-talking, Defence Secretary during war time, ex-soldier, looks like the complete opposite to bumbling Boris and his fudging his way through every situation.

Boris won the last election for pushing Brexit through and that's it really. Tories are smart to change leadership as Labour are pretty hopeless, in fact a slightly more competent leader should win the next election. Tories will cut tax and it should be an easy win buy if Starmer needs to go, it'll be more interesting since the guy has no clue.

Sunak gives me snakey vibes

Fishy Rishi is another elitist toff, few can identify with him. At least Boris was affable in a bumbling idiot kind of way, Rishi seems much more calculated and sly, so more dangerous in lots of ways.

From what I've read he looks like a phony, I've read/heard people say he failed as a minister

Who's the favorite to replace him?

Bookies put Rishi as favourite but honestly I can see the other candidates rallying around Penny Mordaunt after they get eliminated. He's Not liked very much by party members.

John Major or Douglas Hurd might fancy their chances in this field.

Damn. Your signature is a relic of second place.
