Yeah... his base is actively campaigning for him to get the job back. It is stupid, but that is English politics for you. The ERG is in full control of the Tory party, which means zero chance of a moderate getting in, and all their other darlings are even less competent than Boris.

Wouldn't Sunak be the more obvious choice, since he already was the runner-up in the last election for Tory leader?

(Aside from the fact that it's absolutely wild that the question of PM isn't settled via a general election at this point. I get why the Tories won't risk a general election but it's wild to pretend that anything of the last couple of years is anything remotely like what people voted for.)

The thing about Sunak is that Britain is a lot more racist than anybody admits, and the Tory party membership is even more racist than the British average level. Plus Sunak lost to Truss...

Bullshit. Shit sticks more to women then men in the public sphere. Truss was a deliberate set up to oversee the last hurrah of blatant theft from tax payers. Now she's gone down in flames. Rishi Sunak is the only high profile Tory left with any charisma and even a whiff of competence. They're saving him for when they try and turn the ship round again and win back the public.

The Tory base doesn't like Sunak as much as Boris, that's why he lost to Truss. Boris is probably the only person acceptable to the Tory base who isn't also a complete doctrinaire right-wing lunatic - he's just personally corrupt, incompetent, and unprincipled.

it's absolutely wild that the question of PM isn't settled via a general election at this point. I get why the Tories won't risk a general election but it's wild to pretend that anything of the last couple of years is anything remotely like what people voted for.

This is very true. I think any preceding British government would have gone out under these conditions and it's insane that they're hanging on.

Any Labour government would, prior to Blair at least, because they actually have principles. The Tories have always been entitled graspers who cling to power to the last because they believe in a Right to Rule (not govern, but rule) the plebs and proles. The Tories are the party of old school feudalism, and have never quite got over feudalism going away.

Absolutely this.
