Javid and Stewart are bright but just not strong enough.
Gove has surprised me in his ability to sound more statesmanlike than the others. He's just not very good.

I do love the BBC staging the viewers questions in the style of the Eurovision result though!
Who let the green/pinko cake molester on?
What's the point of a Conservative leadership debate when half of those asking the questions clearly don't vote for them?

The whole idea of a Conservative leadership debate which 0.18% (no exaggeration - exact figure) of the UK's population will vote in is redundant to begin with and I imagine it's easier than play find the Tory member.
As redundant as it might be, it is a contest for the leadership of the party and the questions should be posed by that part of the electorate.

Pretty worrying time for the UK imo. Why? Because the party in power have a gun to their head. Deliver Brexit or lose to the Brexit party or Corbyn. That is a desperate situation! Perversely imo the new PM will be relying on Labour in parliment to stop them delivering Brexit. It may be their only out. Promise the impossible, then blame Labour when it doesn't happen, and hope they can come out the otherside. But if this does not happen for any reason, we could be trouble.
Brexit by default, thanks to the Farage and Corbyn gun held to the temples of the Torys, could be disasterous. What would be the collatoral? Jobs, UK prosperity, property market slump, forign investment slump, the UK being held to trade deals involving visas quotas for other far flung nations, a less white UK, and a period of semi-chaos that could last a number of years. I am not sure any politician could deliver that on purpose, but by default, with the fear of going down in history as the one who broke the conservative party and put Corbyn in power, some of these candidates may well deliver a shi1 show. So the Torys fear Corbyn but may also rely on him as a saviour.
It might be oppotune to move assets away from the UK over the next 6 months. I don't think this worst case scenerio will come to fruition, but during the bluff and bluster the UK could suffer from this nonsense.

And the PM. Surely the other 99.82% are allowed to ask a question seen as they can't vote. It doesn't seem a lot to ask.

You have the right to freedom of speech....as long as you're not actually stupid enough to use it.

They voted for their local MP - unless that MP is changing then, no.

So calling you out as a right wing hypocrite suddenly makes someone a 'crackpot' I did all that without resorting to abuse too, but I have put that right in this reply. Yeah right.... You love dishing it out, but cry like a little girl when you cop it. What a baby!

You really are quite hilarious.
I am not crying, I am not even upset, rather Im just kind of amused and bemused.
I am not right wing. I am not a hypocrite. I am perfectly capable of holding a conversation on here - even with those I rather disagree with.
Most of all though, I do try to engage.
You? You blunder in with blasts of rhetoric, pretty well always missing the point/completely incorrect, but always aggressive and often rather offensive. Bull in a china shop stuff.
Its baffling, at least it was until I began to consider you a zealot. Then it starts to make a lot of sense. You are so far into your ideology you have lost all sense, perspective and reason.
THAT is what makes you a crackpot.

I think Stewart has got a bit of a 'Gareth Southgate last summer' vibe about him. The quiet determined guy with bags of integrity, who could unite the dressing room, then the country.
He's got integrity bit he's absolutely not a leader. I'm not even sure he'd make much of a deputy either.
He's just a bit weak. Last night he was the smartest, most honest and most well informed person in the room and he didn't command it at all.
