A real, genuine question for the #Brexit nerds (and no sarcastic comments *please*) - what do we think Hunt and Johnson would actually *do* on Brexit?
My best guess for Hunt:
- go to meet Barnier and others in BXL shortly after being elected, to see what he can get
- return to Westminster with little more than the current WA+PD
- see there's no majority for it
- end up asking EU for a delay

Best guess for Johnson:
- go off to BXL making some kind of waffling but bombastic demands, like "alternative arrangements" for NI border
- EU tells him this isn't workable
- returns to London claiming intransigence of the EU
- then heads for No Deal, Commons seeks to stop it...

This by @WJames_Reuters is ace:

But what *conclusion* to draw from that... is hard because the statements each has made are contradictory!

Is there some deeper analysis of their positions I have missed somewhere?
I am aware that trying to analyse 💩 is hard...
