The Telegraph (U.K.) reports a new survey of Conservative Party members. It shows pro-Brexit Boris Johnson, of the wind blown blond locks, with a 17 point lead over his nearest rival for next Tory leader when Theresa May steps down, as promised.
Johnson has not supported May’s compromise settlement with the EU. This poll is important as a surrogate measure for pro-Brexit sentiment among Conservatives. One hopes the Tory party’s remainer MPs will see the electoral handwriting on the wall and join the Brexit coalition.
