Johnson is NOT finished. Don't be taken in by his clever strategy of keeping a low profile. He'll let Farage do the front of store interviews, and deny promises such as the £350M per week for the NHS. Johnson's not going to get embroiled in denials.
Though Johnson isn't that popular amongst other Conservative MPs, after all they've seen through him. He is extremely popular, maybe not so in London, around other parts of the country. If he manages to get through the PCP process there is a strong chance he will become the next leader of the Conservatives.
An autumn election will be called; and due to the proximity of the referendum result and if the Blairites and Progress elements of the Labour continue splitting the party, the Tories will win. They may not have a majority, but UKIP will pick up extra seats this time, probably at Labour's expense; and a Tory/UKIP alliance will take office.
Such a scenario will serve to push the Conservatives even further to the right. The cabinet will also be peppered with UKIP members. Since UKIP will be holding the balance of power...

I think you can see where I'm going with this. A Doomsday scenario indeed.
