However, the gloomy polls &#8211; alongside the outbreak of various dramas in Westminster &#8211; make it look likely that the Tories will end up fighting for the leadership all over again after the election.<\/p>\n<p>Many of those who stood for the top job last time remain prominent figures in the party, such as Suella Braverman, James Cleverly, Kemi Badenoch, Penny Mordaunt and Tom Tugendhat.<\/p>\n<p>They are warmly received by Conservative members, leaving them well-placed to go for the position should it be vacated by Rishi Sunak.<\/p>\n<p>Others on the backbenches like Jacob Rees-Mogg remain hugely popular with the Conservative grassroots.<\/p>\n<p>We may be as long as a year away from the next election. But that won&#8217;t stop the party&#8217;s leading lights from jockeying for position.<\/p>\n<p>So who would you prefer as the next Tory leader?
