Who will replace Boris?
Looking very likely Boris will go early in 2022. Voters will forgive many things, but not hypocrisy. The photos of Boris and his staff enjoying various social functions while families were unable to attend funerals of loved ones will sink him.
So who is in the running to be the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland? The odds (converted to percentages) are:
- Rishi Sunak, Chancellor of the Exchequer 33%
- Liz Truss, Foreign Secretary 18%
- Michael Gove, Housing and Communities Minister 14%
- Jeremy Hunt, former Health Secretary 10%
- Sajid Javid, Health Secretary 6%
- Priti Patel, Home Secretary 4%
If Truss or Patel are elected, they will be the third female leader of the Conservative Party.
