OT Boris Johnson

Boris is unelectable.

That's what was said of Corbyn a couple of months ago.

Bozo really is unelectable. It would be a fun camapign though!

Really? After the last twelve months, no one - except Paul Nuttall - is 'unelectable'. Do hope you're right though.

No I mean unelectable from within the party. Yes he has some popularity within the base and might win the final runoff, but to get to that and get support from MPs in the first few rounds, that's going to be tough after he shot himself in the foot by running then abandoning.
Plus I dunno what's so supposedly great about him in terms of charisma? He talks in a strange halting way, gives an impression of aloofness and is very gaffe prone. A disaster in waiting if elected party leader. Maybe because of his clownish ways, he gets by with some voters and is clearly a media darling. But is it enough? Plus I don't think he's very well liked by fellow MPs.

Honestly, I think Osbourne has a better chance than him, maybe even that toad Gove

Think you might have to be an MP to be leader, Romanis. Osborne is now a newspaper editor. Gove has marginally more chance but is a complete joke...disloyal and out of touch in equal measure.
Your choices seem to be Amber Rudd, Bozo, 'Dickie' Davies, Liam Fox, Hammond or IBS (again)...doesn't bode well does it?
