LONDON - Boris Johnson, the frontrunner to replace British Prime Minister Theresa May, won the most votes cast in the second round of voting for Conservative Party leader on Tuesday, with four other candidates also getting through. Johnson, a former London mayor and foreign minister, won 126 votes, with Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt in second place on 46 votes and environment minister Michael Gove third with 41 votes.The international development minister Rory Stewart was fourth on 37 votes and the interior minister Sajid Javid was fifth on 33 votes.

One candidate — former Brexit minister Dominic Raab — was eliminated after he failed to receive the required minimum of 33 votes. Now the remaining candidates will face further votes to whittle down the contest to two, when Conservative members will decide who will become leader, and Britain’s next prime minister.

Just. Don't. Leave. Forget the while thing happened. That referendum was a political stunt by a man purported to have been fellated by pigs, don't destroy your economy for it. Vote Leve - an organization supported by Boris Johnson - used databases to target your campaign. Nationalist / populist discourses conquered the electorate. Lies about the values passed to Brussels were decisive for the victory of the campaign. The world is apprehensive. The hair alone should disqualify one person
