Poll: Would Boris Johnson get your vote as Prime Minister?
After Boris Johnson showed his hand and confirmed he is planning to stand as an MP at the next election, we want to know if you think he'd make a good prime minister.
The London mayor's declaration immediately raised the prospect that he could emerge as a rival for the Conservative leadership if the party is defeated - or again fails to secure an overall Commons majority - at the polls next May.
Mr Johnson also promised to serve out his second term as mayor, which finishes in 2016.
Prime Minister David Cameron was quick to welcome the announcement, saying that he had always wanted to see "my star players on the pitch" during the forthcoming election campaign.
However, Ladbrokes immediately slashed the odds of Mr Johnson becoming the next Conservative leader from 5/1 to 9/4, while Labour said it was a clear sign the Tories were turning in on themselves with Mr Cameron powerless to intervene.
