So we shall see what happens...

Answer: No. Bottom one drops out even if above the threshold. (Otherwise we might be here for eternity, like with already are with Brexit)

He knows that in all probability winning this time is probably a poison chalice but taking part and getting into the TV debates is a chance to get his name and ideas out there with a view to the following leadership campaign - which may not be that many years further ahead. All he has to do this time around is perform well, not make any stupid mistakes and definitely not make any promises that might come back to haunt him in the future.

All three main parties in election mode and therefore as the EU implored, making good use of the extension time.
It is going to be a bloodbath. And even Len might not be able to massage and fudge this one away.

Realistically I don't think you want to win this one or the next one. The winner of this election has to keep both the DUP and all current Tory MPs on side to win the immediate VONC that is coming and there is little chance of most candidates pulling that trick off except possibly Gove / Hunt (so it's highly possible the winner may actually never become PM).
You then need to delivery Brexit and no candidate has a chance of deliverying Brexit without an election (to change the Parliamentary arithmetic) yet they won't win an election without / before delivering Brexit.
That said, I don't recall why people think she is especially loathsome.
Surely the title of a thread header?

Not much sense of how it will be paid for.
Shame she didn't pay attention to herself.
The details don't matter. The more his opponents attack him on the details the more it is established that Boris is a low-tax politician who is most likely to deliver tax cuts to Conservative Party members and core voters.
Errrr. Not the best phrasing, Andrea.
Nevertheless, watching her on C4 news, she seems sane, realistic and measured. Certainly in comparison with some others.
How many Tory members will even benefit from Boris's tax cut plan? I suspect a lot are comfortably off, but how namy over 65s are on pensions of >£50k?
YouGov had Boris winning a majority even now as he halved the Brexit Party voteshare to 13% as enough of their voters trusted him to deliver Brexit

The rest are just versions of Michael Fallon.
Cocaine and even heroin is safer by comparison...
Not many.
I might not sleep if that one comes off.
It is a welcome move as higher NI should be the first target to raise more funds for the NHS and social care
Admittedly a somewhat more intelligent and articulate one.
It's actually quite a clever trap, the promise of a tax cut might not sway many voters, but forcing your opponent to come out in favour of taking that money away once it's been given is very different.
At nine years old I was still obsessed with the next moon landing.
Biggest enduring myth there is.
