The British Conservative members have voted Boris Johnson for leader in large numbers because they believe he has the charisma, showmanship and views on Brexit to ensure Britain leaves the European Union successfully on October 31.

Conrad Black, former media proprietor, whose publications included The Telegraph and The Spectator.
Simon Heffer, columnist with The Telegraph and author of The Age of Decadence: Britain 1880 to 1914.
