Ok, thank you
Boris Johnson
Boris obviously has a good position on Brexit, and he won a strong victory last week, but I don't think he should be Conservative of the Year, or even 2nd or 3rd place. The reason is that despite his position on Brexit, he's very left-wing on several other issues, including abortion, homosexuality, environmentalism, and certain globalist agreements such as the Paris climate agreement. Also, my understanding is that he's a pragmatist rather than an ideologue, meaning that he doesn't have particularly strong views on issues.
I would be supportive of listing "Brexit voters" as a Conservative of the Year" entry, similar to what we did in 2015. --1990'sguy (talk) 09:18, 16 December 2019 (EST)
