    Default UK Conservative Party leadership election candidates (Next Prime Minister)

    I find all the candidates bad generally, although Jeremy Hunt was the least bad of the ones I previously knew about. They generally lack competence, and they generally have views vastly different to mine.

    In order of estimated probability of victory according to betting markets at the moment:

    Penny Mordaunt - I currently think EIE > LIE (weak impression, at least when I first thought this)
    She seems quite fun to some degree.

    "When receiving the Speech of the Year award at The Spectator magazine's Parliamentarian of the Year Awards in November 2014, Mordaunt said that she had delivered a speech in the House of Commons just before the Easter recess in 2013 on poultry welfare so as to use the word "cock", as a forfeit for a misdemeanour during Naval Reserve training.[30][31] She used the word "cock" six times and "lay" or "laid" five times. Following her comments, she was accused by Labour MP Kate Hoey of trivialising parliament."

    Rishi Sunak - fairly certain he's LIE

    Liz Truss - I guess LIE

    Kemi Badenoch - weak impression is also LIE (I know little about her)

    Tom Tugendhat - possibly EIE (weak impression)

    Suella Braverman - maybe LSE (weak impression)


    Of those eliminated:

    Nadhim Zahawi - I know little about him. I think LIE as good a guess as any

    Jeremy Hunt - EIE (weak impression)

    Sajid Javid - maybe LIE

    Grant Shapps - maybe LIE

    Rehman Chishti - I have little idea and I don't really care enough to try to type him, other than to say he is like EJ temperament
