Odds on Next Conservative Party Leader<\/strong>
\nBoris Johnson 9\/2
\nMichael Gove 11\/2
\nDominic Raab 15\/2
\nJeremy Hunt 8\/1
\nSajid Javid 12\/1
\nMatthew Hancock 12\/1<\/p>\n
Boris Johnson is the new favourite to succeed under-fire Prime Minister Theresa May as the next leader of the Conservative party.<\/p>\n
Mrs May is fighting hard to secure a Brexit deal but her decision to enter into dialogue with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, after three failed votes for her plan, has not gone done well within her own party.<\/p>\n
Indeed many Tories are now getting together to back prospective candidates to challenge Mrs May and former London mayor Johnson – who has been vocal in his opposition to the current Brexit plans – is favourite to succeed her now priced at 9\/2, having previously been 6\/1.<\/p>\n
Enviroment secretary Michael Gove had been favourite in recent weeks, but his loyalty to Mrs May could be going against him as he is now out to 6\/1 having been as short as 2\/1 just a couple of weeks ago.<\/p>\n
And as he is favourite for the Conservative party role, that in-turn has seen him become favourite to become the next Prime Minister at 9\/2, ahead of Mr Corbyn at 7\/2.<\/p>\n
OddsMonkey spokesman Peter Watton commented: “Michael Gove had been backed right in to be next Tory leader and was just 2\/1 a few weeks ago, but like Brexit – things can change quickly.<\/p>\n
“Now as Mrs May turns to try and do a deal with Labour – Boris Johnson has seemingly made his move behind the scenes and is now clear favourite at 9\/2, indeed he is now ahead of Jeremy Corbyn in the next Prime Minister market too.”<\/p>\n
