Like I said I know nothing about politics. England is where I live, probably meant Jeremy Hunt. xEngland?
Michael Hunt?

I'd have to wash myself off afterwards, but if I had to vote for one of the Tory candidates, I'd probably go for Michael Gove:
1) He was one of the leading members of the Brexit campaign and therefore appropriate that he's at the forefront of trying to sort Brexit out
2) During the Brexit campaign, he was comparatively (unlike, for instance, BoJo) honest about what Brexit actually meant.
3) He has been relatively level-headed and pragmatic during the Brexit debate. He knows it's imperative that Britain gets a deal, and unlike the vast majority of the leading Brexiteers, he's not getting wild idealism get in the way of ensuring a smooth Brexit transition.
Don't get me wrong - I think he's a toad. Just a level-headed, pragmatic toad and that elevates him to the head of this shower.
It's ridiculous that he's seemingly not going to get serious consideration because he took cocaine 20 years ago.
Seems to me that Stewart has been elevated to the darling of the anti-BoJo crowd on the back of a couple of soundbites. It's certainly not because of his track record of political leadership, because that's minimal, and I really fear what's going to happen if we put a comparative political novice in charge right now.
In fact, Stewart he has a perfect CV to make a good Secretary of State for International Development...….hey, whaddaya know, May got one right!
Isn't the issue more that he represents a group of people who will never get into serious bother from cocaine use, while as justice secretary he had responsibility for ensuring a different class of people had their lives systematically ruined due to their cocaine use?It's ridiculous that he's seemingly not going to get serious consideration because he took cocaine 20 years ago.

Heard he was changing his name .....from jeremy to isaac?You still spelt Jeremy's name wrong.

None of the above is of course implicit, but sadly this is the choice we (or conservative members) have. Stewart is clearly the most reasoned candidate.
