Re: Post-Brexit Britain
won't happen though. He's too smart to accept that one-term poison chalice that awaits the next PM.

No chance. He has no Front Bench experience. Neither does Boris but being Mayor of London covers that gap in his CV.

Re: Post-Brexit Britain
Tories have moved the leadership election to early September instead of October. Suggestions there will be a GE in November.
Frankly, we need a new PM within the next two weeks, not September.
In other news regarding a post-Brexit UK:
Brexit: Australia to team with NZ to negotiate new trade, immigration deals, Malcolm Turnbull says - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
Leaving aside that the Australian and NZ PMs move towards a quick new trade deal with the UK (in contrast to the Remainers who kept saying it would take decades to negotiate trade deals), I like the implication of much eased movement of people between the UK, Australia and NZ.
If there was ever going to be free movement of population it should have only been with those two countries and maybe Canada. I can see this be hugely popular in the UK, both England and Scotland.

Re: Post-Brexit Britain
New Zealand isn't facing an election
I am taking the route that outside a handful of bitter EU leaders in Brussels no one is going to want to punish or isolate the UK and will actually move fairly quickly to accommodate a post-Brexit Britain. It doesn't mean things will be tumultuous, economically, for the next year or so, but just as no one now remembers 1992, this will all be forgotten.
*No I haven't hit the bottle this morning. I'm just naturally optimistic
