This market is about the next leader of the Conservative and Unionist Party in the United Kingdom (after Rishi Sunak); once the next leader is chosen, every statement that applies to them will resolve YES and every statement that is false about them will resolve NO. Interim leaders do not count. If the party changes its name, that doesn't matter, but if the party ceases to exist, everything will resolve N/A.

Feel free to add your own answers; I reserve the right to remove any that are duplicates, ambiguous or offensive.
