The Conservative Party

[PragueBlue]

Sunak is probably the one and only candidate who’s worth anything in that party but they hate him and the issue is how many numpties are behind him.

Sunak, Hunt and Theresa May in senior positions are the sensible options but we’re well beyond sensible.

They’ll be a General Election early next year, I’m certain.

Is it possible for Truss to step down and then they have one person (Hunt or Sunak for example) standing for the leadership so it wouldn't need to go through all the voting procedures? Of course that is if they could somehow unite behind one candidate and nobody oppose him/her, which I guess is unlikely.

Cruella might have something to say about that.

Was just wondering if it was possible as I don't know their rules on electing a new leader.

I don’t see it happening either, the party is genuinely split and not just split, they all despise each other.

They’ve not been in this big of a mess ever I don’t think.

I think some are probing to see if that is possible to do but there’s no clear candidate who’s liked enough/competent enough.

Meanwhile, Dorries is somewhere smearing her shit on the wall shouting traitors

1922 Committee decides the rules for entering the leadership race, so if they decide they just want 1 person they could craft those rules so only that person fits.

I can no longer keep up with the chaos. I was still trying to get my head round the fact that Grant Shapps now occupied one of the great offices of state, when tonight's events kicked off.

The government and by implication the country is now completely out of control.

 

[WestGorton]

He deserves a Victoria cross for the services to the country. Don't apologise.

 

[BayernMan]

He is a fucking prick - set to lose his seat so he can join many of his worried heavily leveraged constituents living on the streets

In an ideal world him and his friends would be relegated to waiting in food pantry lines like his victims but alas…
