Well Gove putting himself forward changes things.
He is hated by the left over education as he was one of the few politicians who actually wanted to improve education, rather than leaving the Teaching Unions to it on the basis their own children were educated privately or in a selective state school.
I actually think that he would be a better Chancellor than PM, and in many respects Chancellor is the more technically demanding role.
However he seems to actually GET IT and can see what the country was saying on Thursday.
Maybe Gove for me now then.

This is genuinely hilarious. Gove is the Tories' Corbyn. Loved by party activists and apologists, utterly loathed by normal people.
At last ... a fair fight for the Labour party.
That won't matter. Gove is the best person to sort out the EU stuff. He clearly doesn't want it and would step down once the EU has been dealt with. He also wouldn't hold a General Election before sorting the EU out as that would allow remainiacs to muddy the will of he people.At last ... a fair fight for the Labour party.
Gove and Leadsom, as much as Gove upset many - no doubt given the instructions from above - they were IMO the 2 strongest in the leave campaign, both kept to the script and IMO are the only two that havent jumped sides for their career prospects.
Leadsom is a big outsider, as some have said, never heard of her - DM article http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3521977/Br...

So ... he wouldn't go to the people because that would "muddy the will of the people". There's no need for an election because of a change of leader and you can look to the history of both parties to see there is plenty of precedent.
