Problem with those betting odds, they are based on nothing other than name recognition, rather than composition fo the likely remaining MP's. Badenoch likely to get blocked by parlimentery MP's, penny likely to lose their seat, farage if the remaining MP's are moderate is a no go. Swinging right is a very silly idea, their is no point, you cant out flank reform of culture war or anti imigrint sentiment, so basing yourself on that is asking for true extinction, why go for budget reform when you can vote for real reform. All you do is give them credibility by agreeing with everything they do.

For the benefit of anyone who didn't get the joke, Penny Mordaunt has been in government for a few years, which is relatively long considering the churn at the top of the Conservative party since 2016. But she became famous when she prominently carried a ceremonial sword during Charles's coronation last year. That is by far the thing she is best known for. I may add in passing, a few months ago she joined the group of ministers who thought it wise in an election year to publicly voice dissatsfaction with Rishi Sunak. Private Eye published a cartoon showing the by now familiar image of a Prime Minister with numerous knives stuck in his back, and a sword too, with the caption "et tu, Penny?"

Instead, they are more focused upon keeping Labour out of their constituency and propping up a potential Conservative opposition (which is no bad thing, as a Government without opposition is dangerous). I'm saying this as a tradition Conservative voter, and this thought process has crossed my mind. (I didn't vote for them in the end.

I have no interest in culture wars, I just want sensible debate and Tories in their current state will never give us that. 3rd place will make them irrelevant even in the next election and one would hope that in 5 years time they'll have replaced the current rotten lot and maybe we have some interesting new conservatives that create a reasonable debate.

I would love to have Kemi in charge of the Tory Party. Last time out the Tory MP's gave us (the members) the choice between 'incompetent' (Truss) and 'insufferable' (Sunak). Which is why many grassroots Tories and younger Tory members didn't vote or put in a blank vote in the last leadership election. Another reason for that was that the two frontrunners among the Tory members at the time were Badenoch and Mordaunt (who both lost out in the semi finals). As Mordaunt is likely to lose her seat and Badenoch is a bit younger (so she can have time to reshape the party) I would opt for Badenoch. Patel is not on my list. She is a competent person to have in cabinet, but she hugely lacks the charisma to appeal to a wider audience.
