Thanks for explaining. Makes sense. Sorry for being an impatient arse :)
 

Tucked away in this article about Alok Sharma and net zero is this gobbet

In a surprise development last night a survey of 850 Tory members put Badenoch in the lead on 31%, with Truss second on 20%, Mordaunt third on 18%, Sunak fourth on 17% and Tugendhat fifth on 10%. The survey for the ConservativeHome website was taken yesterday after Friday’s Channel 4 TV debate.
 
The membership has shifted somewhat! :bigeyes:

While Tom Tugendhat won the public opinion poll after last night’s debate, this is a race that will be decided by Tory members – and they seem to have a new winner (for now at least). A new ConservativeHome poll has seen Penny Mordaunt knocked off the top spot by Kemi Badenoch – who now has a double-digit lead. In a rapidly-moving contest, it’s quite significant. LINK

Bit of a shock with the amount of support for Badenoch, and if Sunak and Mordaunt end-up on the ballot paper, it could go either way.
 
Imagine the self-belief needed to think that you are the best person to lead the whole country. I’m one of the most arrogant people I know and even I don’t have that kind of self-belief.

Now imagine having that self-belief in the face of no evidence whatsoever that you are competent for the role. In fact, there is plenty of evidence to the contrary. But you believe it anyway.

It’s not an encouraging thought.

Based on just watching the few clips from the first debate on the news, Badenoch seemed like the most out of her depth candidate - interesting she's the most popular with members.
