Tory Leadership contest 2022

[Raheem]

Liz Truss. Liz fucking Truss.

The tory leadership election timescales were not written down apparently so I guess they thought it had to be long because of the summer hols/recess ?
It's been interminable, thank fuck it's over. It seems like a lifetime since Bojo resigned.

It's not over. It's only just begun...

Yeah, aspiring to lead a country comfortable with itself looks pretty optimistic when she won't even be able to lead a parliamentary party comfortable with itself

I was going to say that this post hasn’t agreed well!

It would be properly hilarious if they made Liz Truss prime minister. For about 2 minutes, before the crashing realisation that Liz Truss is now prime minister.

So ....

 

[brogdale]

And they're off (again)...

It's coke bender, isn't it

it's quite amazing how the inflation rate of cuntitude in the tory party in the last few years keeps making the previous crop of massive tory cunts look almost sensible by comparison...

I know what you mean. That Genghis Kahn seems quite reasonable nowadays.

Nah. Pretty certain some of them cunts would prefer Hitler.

Sidelining the non brexit believers really hasn’t helped. They’re currently a cult of the stupid.

er...good value thread, eh?

 

[Chilli.s]

they should do another run of that riveting display that they performed a few weeks ago

You need to edit the thread for clarity. Add an 's'.

 

[WhyLikeThis]

They’re really putting stabilisers on for the members.

 

[PR1Berske]

They're desperate for a solid, safe, even boring leader for the next two years. That's what the 100 nominees thing is all about.

It’s more about two things:
1. ensuring there’s no more than 3 candidates. There needs to be a result by next Friday.
2. ensuring that a new leader enjoys the support of most Tory MPs or at least a plurality (in the case of there being 3 candidates). Truss did not. And that’s how you get to be PM: having the support in that post of the biggest party or of the most MPs.

And how often does a "Tory Leadership Contest <year>" manage to get bumped in this way?

 

[brogdale]

That 100 MPs minimum backers might be a bit of an issue for any leadership election after the next GE!

I’ve noticed they sometimes have a tendency to change their ‘rules’ absolutely whenever it suits them.

 

[bluescreen]

Johnson's olive branch to Sunak might shoe the latter in.

 

[mwgdrwg]

give me fucking strength

Recycling !

 

[brogdale]

Desperately sad news for supporters of the Medway narcissist; not throwing his hat in again.

 

[Pickman's model]

The newly renamed 2 Committee will meet to determine the rules for such a contest

 

[Lord Camomile]

Half-asleep, heard someone on R4 suggesting Johnson might easily clear 100, maybe even around 140.

What. The. Fuck.

 

[prunus]

Please god not Johnson. Surely that can’t happen. Less than 6 months ago 50-something of his own ministers resigned en masse because he wasn’t fit for office. He’s no fitter now. Fucks sake.
