BoJo no go.

May.
That.

As much as I like Boris I don't think he has the gravitas to occupy Number Ten. May seems to have that and has good experience at the Home Office and seems a strong leader. She wasn't a bonkers alarmist Remainian as far as I can recall, I think she'd do a good job.

Jeesus - I can't believe ANYONE would really hope that Johnson would get to be PM.

Are you the same people who think Trump is a plain speaking man of the people who makes a lot of sense?

If the EU exit referendum told us all one thing, it's that Johnson is interested only in what suits HIM best and prepared to say anything to get it.

If Johnson makes PM I will seriously consider leaving Britain and I've NEVER said that before.

What the country really DOESN'T need now is an over-privilege, buffoon of a toff in charge spouting Latin platitudes!

Stick to making us laugh at you on HIGNFY, Boris, not trying to be a grown up...

I read this poll as who do you think will get it, not who do you want.

There's a part of me wants BoJo to be PM so he can take responsibility for the Brexit he was so passionate about.
That said May would be the better PM. Gritty, determined and politically savvy. Just whats needed.

Straight in at Number One, in my view.

The left absolutely hate Gove - I'm not sure he's a good unifier. His days in Education did not help him.

Mind you the police hate May.

And the left don't like Boris.

Just remember Johnson was a terrible motoring journalist.

If the only choices we have are those above then I guess May but in all honesty I'd probably feel happier with the combined efforts of the Cbeebies presenting team.

Bojo, doesn't do his homework before attending a meeting, rather he rely's on bluster, making things up and quoting something in Latin.

No denying he isn't articulate, bright and intelligent.

This may wash with the public, but not the attitude I want at this crucial stage.
Bojo and MG are both backstabbers.

May shows loyalty, she was a reluctant remainer, supporting Cameron and the party line. For me no contest.

I think May will prove to be an excellent PM and at this time when there is so much Macho st going on I think a Woman PM would take a lot of the nonsense out of the debate. I have always been interested in Boris as I don't think anyone really knows what he stands for yet he has been in the public eye for so long.
A major opportunist for me.
