The RULES for the Conservative Leadership Contest - After Brexit/Boris

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 7.43pm post the following, " Candidates standing in the Tory leadership race will need at least 20 supporters to get on the leadership vote ballot...nominations will open and close on Tuesday....MPs will conduct the first round of voting on Wednesday.  "

Lets Get Real:

This will cut down the number of candidates, some might find it a struggle to get to 20.  One can presume that the former Chancellor Sunak and the Foreign Secretary Truss will get through, but the rest, well depends who the MPs want to tie to their futures too.   As noted in my previous post the political knifes have come out already, it is reported that some campaign's have give the Labour Party dossiers in attempt to smear fellow campaigns.  Tuesday is going to be interesting, who gets through and what do the candidates who can not hit 20 nominations give their support to on Wednesday.  This blog is going to predict it will be the Foreign Secretary who finally gets the nod, of course this blog could be very WRONG, it happens. Keep your eyes on the news channels, they will get the results faster that print media. 

1922 Committee Rules for the Conservative Leadership - After Brexit/Boris

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 5.24pm post the following, " "The new 1922 Committee executive has some important decisions to make, first of all obviously the timetable for the leadership election......"What we expect is nominations opening tomorrow, probably first ballot Wednesday and perhaps another round on Thursday...."What the '22 executive is likely to do is [change] the number of nominations you need – at the moment it's just eight.  "

Lets Get Real:

As of NOW there are 11 candidates, it could go up one if the Home Secretary jumps in to the race.  The political knives are already out, ALLEGATIONS are being thrown about the various candidates, affairs, sexual deviance, personal finance and if people have paid their taxes in the UK.  The 1922 Committee needs a quick and fast contest, the number of nominations that a candidate needs should go up from 8 or even 36 it has been reported.  That will get rid of those candidates you have NEVER heard off, and those that even Conservative MPs do not know that well.  Then the race should be over by next week after various rounds, with the last candidate being out, in till we get to the final two and the vote by the Conservative members.  The favourite in the former Chancellor, but how will his tax increase go down with the members, then final candidate should be a FIRM BREXIT supporter, the Foreign Secretary is the most well known, but voted REMAIN in 2016, that could be a problem.  The fun has started.
