My own personal thoughts are that it should be a Brexit supporter, if a remain supporter conducts negotiations then they would call "foul" for years to come on any matter that did not meet their expectations. I believe Cameron was 100% right to step down now (he was going anyway) and clear the way for a Brexit candidate to lead the way.
But who do you want?
I'd have said May. Although a quiet remainer she's made of stern stuff. We all know that the power in Europe, for the moment, lies with Merkel. I reckon Merkel would have most blokes turned to quivering wrecks by the time she'd finished with them. She scares me. I can see May squaring up to her alright though.

That said, maybe what it is really needed is a conniving, back stabbing , slimy, weasel of a person to deal their way through. Step up Gove.
