A Boris Johnson, with all his skills as a person - in making politics accessible to apathetic people, in using his wit and humour appropriately and in engaging and relating to the voter - combined with a new found discipline, management of the world's greatest cities and noew found leadership qualities, could well be placed for the top-job. Should David Cameron either be elected as Prime Minister and step down, or never quite make it, would a Conservative Party ever turn to Johnson?

Finding him a seat wouldn't be a problem and such a notion isn't that unbelievable, for Johnson does have some 'Churchillian' qualities - in his aforementioned wit, public speaking and ability to involve and inspire.

So, what chance Prime Minister Boris?!
