UK Politics Thread (Part 2)

Oh!

For those unclear on the process, the basic process is that only a maximum of three MPs can reach the 100 nomination threshold (there are 357 Tory MPs) and if there are three, then MPs will vote to narrow that to two.

If whoever is second doesn’t step aside, the vote goes to the Tory membership next week.

It sounds like they do not trust their fan base? It’s almost undemocratic is a perverse (or not) way.

Are we expected to find sympathy for them?

That remains to be seen I think. However, they have lost an opportunity to force a GE though.

I just hope you’re right that lots of Tory MPs jump ship. If they really behind the winner the opportunity is gone. It then becomes a battle between highlighting the damage of the incoming spending cuts etc.

Wholly crap.
