Reply to: New PM after EU referendum?

Remain - Boris, because he risked everything for the greater good, and as the plucky little engine that nearly could, the Tory members crying into their morning Telegraph will be encouraged to vote for him as leader.

It's almost as if he's calculated the odds of (personal) success before "risking" it all.

Losing the Scotland referendum was by far the best thing that's ever happened to Sturgeon and the SNP and Boris is hoping the same will be true for him. I don't think for a minute he's really in favour of Brexit.

I'm very sure he did this.

Cameron has already said he won't stand again. If he loses the referendum he might go sooner, but he isn't going to lose, so he won't

Osbourne doesn't stand a cat in hell's chance. Loathsome individual.

Boris, not a chance if he's on the losing side.

Which leaves the likes of May, Javid, or some left-of-field back bencher.

The future of the Conservative Party does not look bright. This could be a good thing. Politics needs stirring up in this country.

My money is on Brexit and Johnson.

I agree.

Both will go and feck themselves.

New PM after EU referendum?

Yes, the current Project Manager is Italian. She will be replaced by a Scottish lass.

Eitherway, I will get "enough".

Hope that helps.

You still think it actually makes any difference who is PM here?

[DodgyAgent]

If there is a Brexit(which will not happen) the pound would tank and the economy would soar.

Trump/Johnson. How do I move to North Korea?

It will be like the Scottish referendum - very close but the UK will vote to stay

[seanraaron]

Who will be new Chancellor, Gordon Brown?

[BlasterBates]

I think actually that Meryl Streep will take over.

Or perhaps post Brexit the government collapses along with the economy and Corbyn wins in a landslide.

If that happens I am off to Scotland

Brexit: Boris Johnson from June 24th
In: George Osborne (or Theresa May, but my bet would be on Osborne) a couple of months before the next general election

Johnson in case of Brexit, remember that is what you're actually voting for.

It would need to be an emphatic win to boost Osborne and, even then, he's got little chance of securing a majority among the Tory grassroots. He'll be on the ballot due to his infamous patronage, but he has almost no chance of securing the leadership at present. This could change by 2019/20, especially if Boris has the misfortune of becoming Home Secretary after a reshuffle. In any case, Cameron was nowhere leading up to the last contest, so I wouldn't rule out a little known backbencher as the next leader.
