Will the Next Prime Minister Please Stand Up Options

[Simon Kirby]

It seems a reasonable enough time for David Cameron to move over, but who next?

It might be nice if there wasn't any "leader" at all - it's an anachronism and harks back to a time when states were ruled by an absolute monarch, which itself is just a vestige of some primitive stone-age governance. Parliamentary democracy is not a bad system and all this cult of personality leaves me cold.

Anyhoo, that's not likely to happen, and I'm wondering who's going to get the nod as the Conservatives' next leader. Gove is being talked-up, and I'd quite like that because he's so objectionable he'd likely loose them the next election. Boris Johnson might be a reasonable choice as he's on the liberal wing of the party and not a complete ****, and even if he does play the fool he's certainly not one.

Odd isn't it, the wannabe blue parties seem to have taken in much water. LibDems and nu Labour both seem to have run along side an iceberg. Might this mean the emergence of a real left wing party?

Hope so. Would give people a real choice. Power to the people!
