OT - Brexit Poll Tracker

[past memories]

So you'll get Trump and we'll get Boris.

Barbers everywhere will be weeping.

I'm not so sure Boris will get it. If it went to a public vote, maybe, but not just within the party.

I figure George Osborne is too tightly linked to Cameron, but I think Theresa May would be an interesting shout. Home Sec is a poisoned chalice but she seems to have done a decent job with it (ok, the Police Fed won't agree with that). I can see her getting battered in the Commons and at PMQs though. Not exactly a firebrand speaker.

David Davies maybe as a less polarising option?

I would have thought that David Davies has been out of the limelight for too long to be a serious contender. I think Boris will probably get it, but a dark horse might be Nicky Morgan.

Dan Hannan will soon be available.

The France 24 channel makes a few observations:


Part of it is the joy for Dutch and French (Frexit) eurosceptics (see around 5'17") leading to a list of possible other exits suggested in a tweet by Randhir Kumar:

Finally, it's #Brexit
Will it lead to
Grexit
Departugal
Italeave
Czechout
Oustria
Finish
Slovakout
Latervia
Byegium


I love some of those. Can't think which is best but Later-via is very good, as is Departugal.

I hope if we do have Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson to give his full name he finally gives up his American citizenship like he's promised for years and never done

Cameron has pulled a corker by imediately resigning. Now whoever from Brexit takes his place has the most horrific in-tray, to be the one that formally triggers Art 50 and takes the UK out of the EU, the negotations, then there's Scotland, NI, Gibralter, the City, Calais to sort etc. And as very few of these are expected to go well, our next PM is almost certainly doomed to be considered a failed PM.
