The next Conservative Leader thread.

[Rroff]

Can the Queen also be Prime minister?

No though technically members of the royal family could run for parliament but they don't.

I personally think Cameron should be brought to account for his actions, he as a Prime Minister should have remained completely impartial, instead he tried (And failed badly) to use his position to promote Remain, he MUST have been made aware as a PM that Leave could against all the odds of the pressure of the Govt. and Main-Stream media win the Vote.

He as a Prime Minister took on the responsibility for taking tough decisions, decisions that may or may not personally agree with, instead he chose to be reckless, he was reckless when he offered the Referendum to stop his Party losing to UKIP, he was reckless in the extreme in taking sides (It matters not which side) and then to cap it all when things did not go his way he immediately resigns, he effectively did a childish 'It's my ball and I'm taking it home now' and completely passes the buck, knowing full well at such a critical time that stability and re-assurances were needed for both the Country and the wider Global audience.

A disgraceful dereliction of duty and should be held accountable for it.

This the same Cameron who banged on about "us British are not quitters" in his whole campaign... then quits 5 minutes after the result doesn't go his way.. definatly a case of throwing his toys out of the pram

No, but she could technically, and so can all royals, become a top officer in the EU. So say Juncker = bye bye = hello Queenie!

No actual law saying she can't but it is "constitutionally intrinsic" that she couldn't run for PM and at the same time be the Queen.

Reports coming in that Stephen Crabb is planning to stand.

So, technically, power is only one abdication away?

Thought he might.

He's been in the front line game 2 minutes and that's enough? WTF!?

Wasn't Cameron a run of the mill political adviser with a good YouTube record? Stranger things have happened.

That's pretty damaging if true. Stinks of Natalie Bennett's behaviour in the run up to 2015. Should be the last straw for Boris' leadership bid.

She'd have to go through all the normal processes - become a member of the house of commons or whatever and become leader of the majority political party and so on.

Apparently she's still the boss of that party.

Is there any more Tommy Ks on this? I am salivating at that breaking the main news sites.

 

[datalol-jack]

Hunt is in with a hint of a second referendum. What a man!

 

[CorrectHorseBattery]

Stephen Crabb is what is needed for this party.

 

[Tefal]

Tbh i think if the queen was the head of the EU things would be better

 

[Radeon Wattman]

I hope Hunt wins, it will be the death of the Tories. (No i'm not a Labour/Tory-lite supporter)

 

[Freddie1980]

Hunt's must be trolling everyone with talk of a 2nd referendum leadership bid is dead in the water already.

 

[datalol-jack]

Stephen Crabb is what is needed for this party.

He seems to be going for it. Saw him on the live tv stream a few times today. And good on him, tbh. Would purge the stables all round, without rewarding either the schemers or the Brexiteers. Would do well in swing seats, if he can raise his profile in the next few years, hold on and negotiate at least semi-competent divorce with the EU.
