The Conservative Field - Conservative Contest

Guardian - Live Reporting: Reports in its 5.14pm post the following, " Liam Fox, Andrea Leadsom and Stephen Crabb complete the line-up for the leadership election. "

Lets Get Real:

Let's have a look at the lesser riders and runners in this contest, Dr Liam Fox is on the right of the Party, it has been said he is running as to make sure there is no back sliding on the EU Vote.  The Work and Pensions Secretary, formally Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb has a good back story, bought up by a single mother, went to the local school, in other words a boy made good never mind how he was bought up.   The general view is that this race is a marker for the future, he needs a few more years in the Cabinet and the House of Commons, as to Andrea Leadsom, I will be honest, have no clue, its a new name for this blog.

Boris OUT - The Conservative Leadership Contest

BBC News - Live Reporting: Reports " Michael Gove has said he chose to run for the Conservative Party leadership after deciding "reluctantly but firmly" that Boris Johnson was not capable of uniting the party or the country. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the Conservative Party contest is Gove vs Theresa May, there are others but one can see the above two candidates going to the membership to decide who should be leader.   Since Boris is gone this blog is holding its support, one has to see more of the candidates to see how they are on the political cycle, who knows how to control the news cycle, who is great at SPIN in other words.  As a side it would be good to see another woman PM, the question is can May be another Thatcher?
