Basically none of these are insurmountable problems. But they're procedural issues that the Tory party needs to address WHILST ALSO dealing with the Significant Emotional Event of now being the party of opposition.
how much hassle and wrangling and procedural *stuff* is there for selecting who is on the 1922 committee, and for them to rewrite the rules? I'm guessing that's not quick or automatic?
It’s amazing isn’t it. They’re already publicly arguing over changing the rules for the leadership contest.
The advantage the Tories have is the 1922 can do whatever it wants. The disadvantage is the 1922 can do whatever it wants.
I'm going to be boring and assume someone will have been shell shocked into sufficient sanity to realize that if you set one number in units of the parliamentary representation, you've got to set *all* the numbers in those units, and then they'll change it and sail off into insanity again.
