As we are aware that the majority of English farmers voted for a Brexit. It would imply that none of the candidates have to be particularly benevolent towards the farming community, beyond giving them what they voted for in some form or other.

I didn't see the debacle, but Boris cannot specify how he's going to achieve brexit as he can't say he's going to call an election. He will after his appointment call an election because that is the only way to make the arithmetic work and achieve brexit.

Do not forget that many of us in The Brexit Party could well cloud the issue,as I have not witnessed a categoric departure date from any of the tories to date.

Boris and Hunt will sort the job
Where's Rees Mogg these days ?
Not being an arsehole solely out for himself and his mates does not make him a socialist!

That’s how binary our politics and media is these days. You’re either a socialist, or you’re “far right”.
Come back Tony Blair.....
Exactly, Rory Stewart is fairly central and seems to have empathy for the general populace.That’s how binary our politics and media is these days. You’re either a socialist, or you’re “far right”.

Stewart is a realistic & pragmatic character. He`s not extreme in any direction.
He may be a bit "look at my CV" but he appears to be a steady pair of hands in his various roles.
Is the "middle of the road" a safe place to be or even wanted by Conservative members?
I`ll wait & see what we get to vote on.
Boris + Hunt
Boris + Stewart
Boris + Gove
Are my realistic three options as it stands but we don`t know what is happening behind closed doors.

Central doesn’t seem to work at present. Look at the relative fortunes of the latest new parties, change Uk and the brexit Party. Both had charismatic figureheads, but with wildly different levels of success. If you look at the way the population votes, extreme opinions seem to be the order of the day. Farage, sturgeon, Corbyn, all popular way above and beyond what they could actually deliver. It doesn’t stop them promising it though. I think we are witnessing the death throes of our current political system.
f**k knows what replaces it though.
I agree. I think corbyn and farage are both equally reprehensible
I don't think he wants the job, I don't blame him if he don't I wouldn't want it would you ?
farage has no power at Westminster and never has that place is three parts full of remainers, no wonder things are forging ahead
Farage will be the next prime minister cos the Tories will implode and NF is the only person with the wherewithal to deliver the overdue referendum result.

If Rory Stewart gets to be PM it will be more of the same shite we have had for the past 3 years and the end of the Tory party. Therefore he is in reality, a non-starter.
I have become even more impressed with how Gove can talk-the-talk. Perhaps worth a flutter as an each-way bet (which ironically rather describes his views on when we might actually leave the EU!).
However, if he were to join forces with Stewart, I'd wish I hadn't placed that each-way bet.
Unless Boris gets to be PM, not only will that be an end to the Tories, but nobody else will have the guts or the cheek to actually get the job done. That is why he is the favourite. Everybody knows it.
1000/1 Bar.
What it really comes down to is this:
Boris is the only candidate that, having become PM, could call a General election and have any chance of the Tories winning it.
And this is why he would, in reality, be the best PM for farmers.
