Contest to replace May as British PM hots up, BoJo favorite

[DAWN] The contest to replace Theresa May as British prime minister hotted up on Saturday with five candidates now vying for a job whose central task will be to find a way to take a divided Britannia out of the European Union

May announced on Friday she was quitting over her failure to deliver Brexit, raising the prospect of a new leader who could seek a more divisive

split with the EU which could lead to confrontation with the bloc or a possible parliamentary election.

British health minister Matt Hancock became the latest figure to join the contest to replace May, following former foreign minister Boris Johnson, current foreign minister Jeremy Hunt, International Development Secretary Rory Stewart and former work and pensions minister Esther McVey.

About a dozen contenders in total are thought to be considering a tilt at the leadership, with trade minister Liam Fox and former junior Brexit minister Steve Baker not ruling out a challenge when asked on Saturday.

#3 Popcorn and may the best slanger/haranguer win.

Seriously, Britain needs a pro-Brexit PM to get the show on the road. The great mass of the unwashed in Britain voted for the danged thing in when? the last Ice Age? May and her minions did nothing her entire tenure but run a delaying rope a dope hoping for a change in public opinion.

NOW, with what is happening in European politics, they may be left turning off the lights as other countries flee the EU.
