This wasn't just obvious to me. It was blindingly obvious to every objective observer. Many people said the same. Just few on here. I want the system changed and people like Willo to wake up to the need to do so. Gaining acknowledgement of that is just a first small step.

We would not now be changing PM again. Then they're not that clever are they? To offer a candidate they thought was unsuitable and bound to lose doesn't speak to their desire to do the best for the country.

I have displayed humility countless times on HOL by my bouts of self-deprecation and someone outside of this cherished site once asserted that I was "grace and humility personified" which I found rather humbling. I am not minded to gallivant into the realms of "I told you so".

That's what happens when tactical voting is seen to be necessary to get the result you want. Remove the need for the tactical voting and a straightforward choice gets made. For good governance it is essential that the MPs choose who leads them. They have to have confidence in them, if it gets lost then the PM loses their job. The idea that the membership has a role is ludicrous. For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

I am not minded to gallivant into the realms of "I told you so". I am not interested in your past behaviour, anymore than I am in the fact that I was right. What I am actually interested in is that you were wrong and whether you are now prepared to admit it and, more importantly, do something about it?

I have demonstrated self-deprecation and humility on HOL countless times and when my judgement has proved fallible I have been willing to shine a torch on it to admit my failings on numerous occasions. I have nothing more to add on this matter accordingly I really do not feel compelled to respond to calls for me to demonstrate my "Grace and humility".Thank You. The Honourable Member for Wisbech will embroil others into a debate, I shall not gallivant down this path. Edited by Willo (20 Oct 2022 11.51pm)

It is of course feasible that the membership will not get a vote, dependant on the outcome of the MP nominations. Candidates must get the backing of a minimum of 100 MPs. If there are three candidates, the one with the least votes will be eliminated. There will then be an indicative vote from Tory MPs, and if there are two candidates left, the party membership will have until 11 a.m. on Friday to vote for the new leader.

If he is then they will send a very strong message to the membership that they don't want him, via their indicative vote and threats of resignation and refusing the whip. If the membership then choose him, the Party will split and an even bigger mess follows.
