    Johnson and his ego will want to destroy Gove but his team will want Hunt. I'm just sure we're totally fucked whoever wins. It's just SNAFU or FUBAR really.

Their policy positions, personalities, strengths and weaknesses are well-enough known. If the plan is for hustings the length and breadth of the country and then a couple of weeks for the postal votes to be delivered to CP HQ or whoever's doing the count (the ERS perhaps) then fair enough, but if all we're talking about is a couple of TV debates, which are unlikely to yield any surprises, then it seems too long.

      I still can't really see any way that Johnson loses. If his poorly thought-through Brexit plans were up against another candidate's water-tight strategy and were exposed as such, I could just about see the CP membership moving to the latter. But Gove and Hunt's ideas are no better that Johnson's.
      Given the age profile of the average Tory member, safe to rule out any form of electronic voting.

                If it had been 76-all would there have been penalty kicks on Westminster Green?

                    Eh?

                    You're advocating a demonstrably corruptible voting system should be used instead of an indelible mark on a piece of paper?

                      Who should we trust out of Boris Johnson and Max Hastings? Let's ask convicted fraudster Conrad Black!

                        This is all like the Jeremy Kyle show for rich people. If nothing else this whole circus is at least shining a light on a degenerate class

                          True. But I expect there won’t be any consequences, as per.

                            If Johnson's going to fcuk up, he will. Even if being caught on the job with Arlene Foster and a dead horse might not be enough to do it...
                            You're going too far. Dead horses have better taste.

                              Regarding voting methods, it would make sense for gammons to go postal.

                                On Newsnight yesterday, Ruth Davidson clearly stated that she wants the next PM to have mental capacity. Aim high and dare to dream.

                                  She's supported Javid, Gove and now Hunt so far. She knows how to pick a winner.

                                    Well she knows that Boris's picture is going to be on most pro-independence Posters.
