HousecatHST-
I only went through those mentioned above. And the grass roots probably wouldn't like him much either for similar reasons. He'll probably go the way of 'The Saj'.
Someone will probably end up with the job by default, with their strongest trait their not being Gove/Hunt/Patel/Sunak - it does seem to be the Tory way, coming in like May, Major or even Thatcher did.
As I said, I am acutely aware that I am not I tune with the electorate (let alone the Tory faithful / otherwise). I have been wrong with each of the last three major votes in this damned country!

Nah, I think Sunak is the next PM. Its a great 'tick' to say racism is over, we have a brown PM.

But has that ever particularly mattered to the party members? They seem to be pretty far-removed from reality anyway.
But I definitely hear what you say. I'd say no he isn't - in limited experience of various bits of the country. And I am acutely aware from various recent developments, through Brexit, elections, etc. that I am not in touch with what the electorate think or would vote for.
However, isn't it the same for the alternatives? Hunt - gets a laugh or two when they play the Naughtie clip. Patel - I don't see that she's that popular other than 'getting rid of the forrins'. Sunak - he probably has the least baggage, but do people recognise him?
