But how will a remainer unite the party when the bulk of the party members are for leave?
She's already done it by saying there will be no going back. No second referendum, and she'd ask the party whether or not to be in the free maket.
She's more of a "leaver" now than BJ who changed his tune 2 days later.

Have you ANY idea of the complete abortion she made of her time as Home Secretary. At this very moment she's peddling lies about her 'achievements '
Policies aside, I think she's got the right temperemant and personality for the job. Better than Gove or Jeremy Hunt. But I don't think Gove really wants it.
I think he just wanted to ensure BJ doesn't as he's too much of a divisive figure, and would constantly be blamed for putting us here in the first place, undermining his tenure.

Simply because the Leave camp won, the ones to win over and get on side are the Remainers. All that said, I have just picked up a tip that Murdoch is behind all this, he gave the thumbs down to Boris at the weekend, believe it if you wish, it is only a rumour to the best of my knowledge, though from a decent source.

Maybe, maybe not. Gove is almost universally hated by teachers though, so either the police or the teachers are going to end up pissed off.
If this was the only consideration. Teachers can strike. So best option is p
s off the police.s off anyone who has worked issuing VISA's/Compliance in the last 6 years. CX53 said:
I would have been very happy if Andrea Leadsom was elected, although it won't happen. It might even actually make me want to vote conservative next time around.
I chose her, and was quite surprised she's in third place at the moment, or second now since Bojo's off the table. She was very cool in the debate, seemed a cool head and a safe pair of hands.

I can't see anyone winning this know other than May
You could well be right but if that happens the existing PM will have stood down on the basis he was a Remain supporter only to be replaced by his Home Secretary who was also a Remain supporter! I must be missing something but if Cameron is right to go on the basis he'd campaigned actively for Remain I don't really see how it can be appropriate to replace him with someone who campaigned on the same side and shared his views?

Is Gove electable as PM in a GE (yes I lnow that's not how it is supposed to work but it's how it does)?
It depends on the competition doesn't it. Compared to the people currently leading the opposition I would say so, but that will change and it could be anyone in the future.vonuber said:

I don't think so, and I'm a fan. He doesn't come across as a born leader - too much of an intellectual. You can give him a job and he'll do it brilliantly, but I don't think that's enough. I'm coming round to Theresa May - something of the early (pre-bonkers) Margaret Thatcher about her.Gove mentioned unity twice recently today, but that's the opposite in Tory MP circles his change of plan has resulted in. How can he say that with any sense of accuracy?
It's like Jeremy saying the labour party has unity, the unity of one, Jeremy !
Boris' dad, Stanley, sounds quite sensible ... better scalp follicle teaser also.
