Interesting ambiguity there. I thought at first you meant "exit the EU more", but then realised you probably meant "benefit more from the EU".

May is probably our best bet, she will do well negotiating with the EU. She also appears strong & businesslike which is what we really need now.
Boris is a clown albeit a clever one. Gove isn't a leader, people end up hating him even when he is right.Comment

2016-06-30 Michael Gove delivered the biggest blow to Boris Johnson’s career yet, by Matthew d'Ancona
Pound to a pinch of pig tulip says he threw his hat in the ring solely because Boris J couldn't be talked out of aiming for a free trade deal, which would perpetuate freedom of movement and thus uncontrolled mass immigration.Gove’s announcement is remarkable in three primary respects. First, that it exists at all. As he himself concedes: “I have repeatedly said that I do not want to be prime minister.” In interview after interview, Gove has insisted that he lacks the stamina, temperament and other qualities he admires in David Cameron.

Second, Gove is positioning himself explicitly as the “change” candidate. Not a word of praise for Cameron – unusual for Gove – but instead a call for “a bold break with the past”. To this extent, the new challenger is acknowledging that last week’s vote was, as much as anything, an expression of dissatisfaction with the status quo, and a call for change in a sense much broader than exit from the EU.
:::
Third, and most unexpectedly, he declares explicitly that he is entering the race because: “Boris cannot provide the leadership or build the team for the task ahead.” During the referendum campaign, it had become commonplace to speak of the “Johnson-Gove axis”, and to assume that the formidable duo had forged a bond that might sweep them to No 10 and control of the government. ...Work in the public sector?

Whoever the Tories choose may not be PM for long.
There could be another general election before the end of the year.
The LibDems are pledging to take us back into the EU. Over 10,000 people have applied to join the party.
Embrace the chaos!Comment

Boris as a politician has something that is increasingly rare in British Politics; he's a good talker but more importantly people trust and believe in what he says. If you ask me there needs to be a lot more of that.Originally posted by vetran View Post

As for Gove, it's clearly a conflict of interest that his wife writes in the Daily Mail under a pen name.'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -
