Who will replace Theresa May as Conservative leader?

My money's is that it will be either Patel or someone like Dominic Raab. I don't see how Rudd will be able to win the membership vote.

Johnson or Patel.

I like Patel. She'd be the next Thatcher, and someone who can clearly communicate conservative principles in a ruthless, but honest way.

Johnson is seen as too much of a political animal.

Not sure the UK is ready for a non-white PM.

I'm pretty sure that if America can elect a non-white president from the left-leaning party, Britain can accept a non-white PM from the right-leaning party.

Not comparable. The Democrats won despite losing whites, no British party can afford to lose their (much larger) majority population.

First off the democrats are the left leaning party whereas Patel would be running under the right leaning party where this would be less of problem (unless you think that a non-white republican would lose the white vote to a white democrat, in which case you are a moron).

Also Britain does not have the racial tension that is present in America and it clearly would be less of a problem to be a non-white candidate and I don't know why I am arguing against something as ridiculous as the UK isn't ready for a non-white leader (while America is).
