Description

Boris Johnson was forced to announce his resignation as Prime Minister because of a bunch of silly pseudo-scandals the media trumped up. Who will be the next unfortunate soul unlucky enough to be chosen as Prime Minister?

Decision Logic

There are currently five candidates. Not coincidentally, there are five options to bet on. Whichever one becomes the next PM is the winner.
.
The field will be cut down to two candidates by late July, after which the remaining two will campaign through August, and one will be announced as the winner on September 5th.
.
Betting deadline is the middle of August. Early outcome is possible but unlikely.

Looks like I don't get to mark it resolved yet, that'll happen in about another day. Note that the bet made on August 11 was never funded, so if it doesn't get removed automatically by the system, we may have to wait for manual intervention by staff.
