Mister M Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Who do you think and why? 3 Names have been mentioned in the press Boris Johnson George Osborne Theresa May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtkate Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I shudder at the thought of any of those 3...Cameron is not my kinda politician but I'd rather an eternity of him than a year of May, Johnson or Osborne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoatwobbler Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 As much as I detest Gideon, it's difficult to look past him for this question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 It depends on who replaces corbyn really. If it's some faceless no-mark Osborne will get it (which I wouldn't like). If the country takes a lurch to the right I reckon May (she's lurched to right a long way in the last 5 years) and if by some miracle labour front up something with a personality Johnson will get it.

But great PR by Cameron. He announces the date he intends stepping down 5 years in advance. It heads off all challenges. Corbyn on the other hand will be under pressure to stand down every day he is in the job. Why is that relevant. Well because when Thatchers and Blair stood down their heir got the flack for stabbing the leader in the back. Whop ever takes over from Cameron can do so with a handshake. Who ever takes over Labour will be damaged goods. I'd like to see Boris get the job. He has the ability to talk to everyone. Georgie Boy is favourite but won't find favour in these parts. But I'm thinking 5 years is a long time in politics. Lots of time for a new face to make a name for the job that is looking like a shoe-in for the next Prime Minister.

I don't remember Brown being accused of stabbing Blair in the back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Arthur Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Good thread Mister M but it could do with a poll. A pretty good summary I'd say. I'm with you on that, it sums it up nicely. Osborne looked very relaxed and absolutely on top of his rhetoric on Wednesday when he was taking questions after giving the Autumn Statement. He looked, dare I say it, Prime Ministerial.

Eric Arthur Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Brown's problem was that he kept missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
