1. But who would the Tory grassroots accept?

I strongly suspect that in a Tory leadership contest they would want a Brexit cultist like Michael Gove or Liam Fox. Jacob Rees Mogg may possibly be a loony too far, but not by much.

The more you think about what might have happened if Andrea Leadsom hadn't dropped out of the last leadership contest the more depressed you become about the state of the governing party in this country.
