With UKIP and the Brexit Party breathing down the neck of the Conservatives they are faced with a massive dilemma on electing a new party leader. No longer can they elect a same as same as clone of Theresa May following an unending spiral of appeasement as it became abundantly clear that the vast majority of Conservative members are looking for leaving the EU on 31st October on WTO rules.

The candidates cover the full spectrum of opinions from out and out appeasement represented by Sajid David and Jeremy Hunt to leave candidates like Boris Johnson (can you trust him), Dominic Raab and Esther McVey. The most radical of these is Esther who appears to have the courage to wipe out the existing remain cabinet and install MPs committed to the UK. The real answer would be for the Tories to call a General Election whilst standing only leave supporting candidates but this is probably a step too far albeit the only move that could dent the groundswell of leave UK patriots who see the only way forward as with UKIP or Brexit.
