As Gove wasn't selected by Conservative MPs to go to membership vote I don't see how he would be back in. Leadsom, if she quits, has left the leadership election AFTER the final two were selected so surely this is now effectively a coronation of Theresa May as leader of the Conservative party and PM in waiting once the 1922 Committee decide how to proceed and May and Cameron agree on a handover date.BBC says Leadsom is about to quit the leadership race.
So does May become PM by default, or does Gove run against her?
What do you mean?
That we shall enact article 50, and the start of negotiations begins? Or that we have a new PM and some idiots think we vote for PM instead of for MPs in this nation, and that parties can pick whatever leader they like?
Good to see Leadsom go.... I am in no way a May supporter , but she is the best bet at the moment. In the land of the blind , the five eyes woman is the queen.

Boris dropped out as he lost his key ally. Leadsom withdrew because she thought she couldn't win it. There is nothing exceptional about either of those decisions and it doesn't reveal anything about the strength of the Brexit argument.
That is how our system works and is well understood by anyone with a drop of intelligence.

And that not one of the leading Brexiteers has the guts to hang around and oversee the forthcoming clusterxxxx?

I don't believe that for a second (that she couldn't win it). Her populist rhetoric was going down a storm with the membership. Maybe the rumours of a split if she won were serious, or maybe she just decided the whole situation would be too much of a mess.
