Looks Like The Tories Are Finished

[youngmafbog]

Well certainly from the MP's voting.

Tugendhat out, Clevery(or not as the case is) wins the most and Badenoch last.

Given that Badenoch appears to be the member favourite if the MP's dont put her forward then I think they may well be toast.

If Cleverly wins thye are finished.  He is not a Tory.

Going back to your original question - Cleverly all the way.

Jenrick is compromised by his obvious swing to the right (trying to mop up favours from the ERG and squeeze himself into Suella'a Manolos).

Kemi wants to be the new Mrs T, but on current form we can't tell if that's going to be Thatcher or Truss...that just leaves Jimmy.

I'd vote for him, if only for his surname's comedy potential.

Well said Ellipsis @ 17.21

I don't see why not being a Tory should hamper Cleverly, after all Starmer's not a Socialist 😀

The fact that Kemi Badenoch has worked at McDonald's is perhaps her prime qualification for leadership,

(dreadlocks not withstanding.)

Is the country ready to vote in a black woman prime minister?

''Is the country ready to vote in a black woman prime minister''

Is Michelle Obama standing for leadership of the party ?

MPs can only vote on others' behalf if they know what it is that, those on whose behave they're voting, wants on a particular issue. Otherwise there is very little of democracy left.  Even then any major change should be put to a vote of the people and the result be obligatory. But in this case the issue is a party leader selection so isn't really related to normal governance but is something for all the party members.

The members don't select MPs, they select candidates from the shower offered them. The constituents select an MP from the shower offered them.
