This September when the Conservative Party changes its leader, it'll also change the PM for the country. Only Conservative Party members can vote to decide, yet we wanted to see who everyone would pick. So, of the five candidates at the start of the process, which would you pick (quite deliberately we’ve not included options for ‘none’ or ‘don’t know’ as love it or loathe it, this is the choice).

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
