The last two men standing are the favorite, Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt, who took Johnson's job as foreign secretary after he resigned in protest at May's Brexit plan. Therefore, any Brexit deal realistically requires compromise with members of other political parties. Boris Johnson, sitting next to UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, checks his watch during the Conservative Leadership debate on June 18.

You've probably spotted the problem: The EU won't move on an issue that is fundamental for the DUP to approve a Brexit deal.
