Might as well make one of the redundant 319s PM, opposed to Gove![]()
Or, dare I say it, 442s?

Gove has said he's standing because he feels Boris isn't capable of leading the country.
I didn't know who Crabbe was until today, although I've seen footage of him before. I must say that, without sounding stereotypical, that he doesn't look like the kind of person who would have such outdated views on homosexuality. Dare I say I expected him to be older, although it goes without saying that there are plenty of young homophobes throughout the world.
Moving on, the "best of the bunch" would at first seem to be May and Fox. However, having a brexit supporting PM could be better because they would be more passionate about the cause of leaving the EU.
Crabb (my mistake, there is no e on the end) has links to CARE which "has in the past sponsored events calling gay and bisexual people broken and promoting the idea of remedies to help them become ex-gay." He also voted against Same Sex Marriage.
Allot of Christians in Parliament have had links to CARE
You have used the word "allot" in your posting in a way that I have never see in print before. How many were allotted?
Gove for Prime Minister. Quite why anyone would want that smarmy little git of a man as our PM is beyond me.
Honestly I'd sort of like just because how much it will annoy teachers...
(such as the one who was too busy telling his Alevel students to vote remain to actually explain any of the negatives of the EU- despite them being on the syllabus- and then coming up on the exam paper)
If not becoming PM; what will Boris Johnson next job be? Partychairman of the Tories?!
Gove exudes as much charisma as a dead fish...![]()
That argument doesn't hold up I'm afraid, I assume you're not being serious!

When the General Election is called within the next few weeks/months the backbench Member for Uxbridge will announce his standing down: cf Michael Portillo, failed to make the cut by one vote to IDS, who goes on to become Tory leader. Portillo, having been parachuted in to the safe Tory Kensington and Chelsea seat so that he could fight for the leadership, steps down afterwards never to take further office with the Tories. Makes a very good living in the media instead, which is probably the direction Johnson will go in, given that with circuses virtually non-existent now there is no demand for clowns.
should be fine in the Conservative Party then

Is it even possible for the PM to call an election now?

Wouldn't it be possible to amend the Fixed Parliament Act if 51% of MPs back it?
This has to be one of the strangest political moves I've seen. Here's a man who has spent his career avoiding the possibility of leadership, standing on a platform of essentially "I know not the best person for the job, but I try hard".

Or would some of them want to change it to 60% or 75%?

It's either false modesty or he's trying to clear the path for Theresa May.
I was thinking of voting on an amendment that allows them to call an election if a party leader changes without getting 66% support.

Only if a motion passes the House of Commons with the backing 2/3s of all the seats (so including any vacant seats) calling for an early election or if a motion of no confidence in the Government is passed and not rescinded within 14 days.

A woman with a strong sense of purpose to lead the Conservative Party.
Now where I have heard of that before?
Hopefully, she won't wreck communities, destroy livelihoods, and irreparably damage lives (causing tons of suicides) like the last one did...
Considering you were not even on the planet when she was prime minister that is a pretty harsh assessment.
For a little balance perhaps you could see beyond that myopic diatribe and mention some of the positive aspects of her premiership.
