The poll, which was conducted between August 12 and 17, among 1,089 Conservative Party members, clearly reflects that if the vote were to take place now and will be Boris Johnson, he will achieve an indisputable victory.
A real paradox, as it must be remembered that the current prime minister was like that Party deputies forced them to resign. The data is revealed.
