So frankly this is actually the first barrier that will meed addressing BEFORE they can even think of having a leadership contest.
Because right now it would be LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE for more than one candidate to be nominated.
I suspect no-one's explained that to Cleverly, Badenoch and Suella yet.
Well, nominating only one candidate would prevent what I shall call a “Truss Error” by preventing the loons in the party base electing another demonstrably unfit candidate.
I'm basically expecting them to declare a Triumvirate and spend the rest of the Parliament trying to assassinate each other. Braverman, Badenoch and Patel...
You make a good point about getting them to agree, but presumably, given that there have been more than (no of Tory MPs / 100) candidates before, MPs can nominate more than one candidate?
They're gonna need someone to wake up the 1922 committee and get them to change all the rules first.
And this, kids, is why you ask experienced TTRPG system designers like me to draw up your political game system rules...
