Who do you think should be Conservative leader?

David Cameron’s swift resignation means the Conservatives require a new leader. The parliamentary Tory party has moved quickly to set up the contest - nominations for the role open on Thursday, with the intention that a new leader should be in place by September.

Speed is of the essence, given the victor will need to negotiate Britain’s post-Brexit future and - potentially - a general election.

Jeremy Hunt is the latest to weigh up a Tory leadership challenge, while George Osborne has ruled himself out. Boris Johnson and Theresa May are set to launch their official leadership bids with speeches later in the week.

We’d like to hear from Conservative voters and members on who they think should be the next leader of the party. Which candidate has the best chance of bringing the party back together, and guiding the country through the myriad economic and political consequences of Brexit?

Let us know by filling out the form below, and we’ll put together an article highlighting your arguments and reasoning.
