3. I don't think he will get to be PM.

At present, he can run with the hare and hunt with the hounds at the same time, running on the left of his party for the London voters, and on the right of his party for the right-wing media and the rebel MPs. But this will collapse if and when there's an actual chance of power.

Of course, I could be wrong; I didn't think he'd get to be Mayor either. But I should say it's unlikely. Especially with his 'bonking' reputation, unlikely to appeal much to the blue-rinsed ladies of the Tory base.
