If we must have a Tory as PM, out of the last 5 candidates standing I’m interested to know who most of you on here would prefer (I know that not many want a tory PM at all but it is what it is) - My choice would be Penny Mordaunt , interesting read on her Wiki page. “No Eton lass”

I don’t want any of them, but at the moment I’m thinking that Sunak might be the least worst option. At least there would be a bit of a delay in the proposed reckless tax cuts and consequent reductions in public expenditure (which they’re all avoiding talking about).

I take your point there FP1, ‘least worst option’ far better than ‘preferred choice’ - “I’ll beat myself over the head with a big stick”

I must admit it's more a process of élimination as FP says, which ends up a least worst by default. But, I think Tugendhat is probably my preference based on the fact he was a remainer and I still live with forlorn hope someone in government will have the balls to call out Brexit for the sh1t show it most clearly is. It's the hope that kills you.

Tugendhat would be my choice too but it is extremely unlikely to happen, of course.

It's more than likely that the people who respond on here to political threads don't want a Tory prime minister but what about the silent majority?

Everyone’s opinion welcome (you didn’t say who think may be the least worst option)

I want a Tory PM because they're the ones voted in at the last election. Also as it stand there's no better alternative in the opposition. I don't want Sunak,he was fined for lockdown parties and gave us the worst budget I have ever seen. Penny Mordaunt is the probably my favourite but the party members will vote for Sunak so my vote along with many others will be lost at the next election.

Mordaunt is favourite among party members, which is why the top two are trying to smear her and will probably gang up to make sure she gets knocked out.

If the final two end up being Truss and Sunak, it will be bye, bye Tories at the next election. I'm more interested to hear what Badenoch and Tugendhat have to say in tonight's debate, as I don't really know a lot about them. Badenoch appears to be the more traditional tory, whilst Tugendhat looks to be more towards the centre.

The membership detest Sunak. Dennis Skinner would stand more chance in a two horse race.
