No, you're not missing anything other than the fact that he appeals to such commentators because they are not tories and in many cases actively hate everything about the tories. Stewart is simply positioning himself as the acceptable face of Remain in what under Johnson will be a Brexiteer's Tory Party and thus is seeking to carve out a party within a party - the new ERG, if you like.Originally Posted by Monty92
Am I missing something when I read some commentators suggest Rory Stewart is the biggest threat to Johnson?
I mean, short of a major scandal breaking that would force Johnson to withdraw, he *will* make the final two. And if it's Johnson vs Stewart, it's pretty much a scientific FACT that the membership would vote overwhelmingly for Johnson.
