May was a scapegoat. Pure and simple. It will take a while to find out what Boris is. Personally I think it relates to "Farage like charm" or more clearly due to aspects relating to that the one most likely to get them elected. As with most parties a lot of the power in them isn't just the PM. That in some ways is far more truer of the Tories than others down to the 1922 committee who also tend to keep public arguments between party members quiet - unlike Labour. It's interesting that the wiki entry on them has been heavily edited pretty recently.
