Once you get into a leadership election, all bets are off - obviously, the key will be any polling showing how the different contenders would fare in a possible GE against Labour. After all, that's what won it for Johnson in 2019.
Tory members will be looking for some rightwing red meat as reward for the majority the party won in 20191 -

I’m not sure anyone actually doubted this, however, I am 💯 behind @BorisJohnson the PM who consistently gets all the big decisions right.

It's also based on a false premise, which slightly annoys me.0 -

Is it conceivable that the only way to get shut will be Tories supporting VONC against government? No automatic GE will follow. Queen will call leader most likely to form a government so possibilities include:
1. No leadership campaign instead Tory MPs will have to agree on one candidate to avoid prolonged vote.
2. Temporary PM while leadership contest takes place (May?)
Tories have to be vary careful they don't precipitate an election by accident. Of course it is also possible that Starmer may go soon (before Boris??).
Entertaining!0 -

As with many high-concept ideas, they run out of steam. The idea of a guy without experience being thrust into being the President works for a while, then it just becomes a poor knock off of the West WingMPartridge said:

Mogg now saying basically 'good riddance to Sunak, he was rubbish'
The Tories will take twenty years in opposition to drain the hate they now have and all because of a cult.

I'm probably missing something (I dabble in the betting side of politics, but hold my hands up as a rank amateur). Isn't Raab at 20/1 value for next PM? If Bojo goes tomorrow, surely he won't stay for the leadership election?

I don't think Rishi will do particularly well with the MPs given his dogma on spending and doesn't have much of a platform for the membership other than past charisma and his Leaverhood. That's before we get to his blow up last year.
Tugendhat is the British Marco Rubio.
Mordaunt, Wallace and Zahawi is who I'm keeping my eye on.

I appreciate that’s an obscure reference.1 -
Mogg wants Johnson to do a Walpole. 20 years.
These people are on drugs.0 -
Also worth noting that if Boris does go then there's still 2.5 years to go until the next general election must be called.
A lot can happen in that time. Good and bad.1
