This thread is full of errors (a consequence of the fact that the Tory rulebook is not available online). No, the 100 is not fixed. No, no members of the 1922 “lost their seats” - there are no members of the 1922 when parliament is dissolved. There are fresh elections every term.

The elections to the 1922 committee this time will be especially acrimonious precisely *because* the thread is wrong- the 1922 will set the terms of the contest and this will obviously shape the outcome of the contest.

I distinctly remember the 100 as being a post-Truss invention to stop a long contest to replace her, right? The '22 is always going to try and construct rules in a way that they think is politically helpful.

The 1922, Bruges Group, Blue Collar Conservatives, New Right, New Conservatism, One Nation. They have and attend that many (albeit with some crossover) factions and committees, you do wonder how they get any Parliamentary business done for their constituents.

Should we care who becomes their leader? If it's a moderate then there is a slim chance of some form of decrepit phoenix coming from the ashes, if not, then the ashes will simply blow away in the recurring tempests.

Interesting point, the 1922 technically is only what it is called when in government. In opposition they are just the Conservative Party.

To what extent do people tend to stay on the 1922 once elected unless appointed to ministerial office? Is it usually fairly stable despite elections or do people regularly fall off it?

It's the insistence that the rules are set in stone when Truss resigned precisely because Graham Brady pointed our to her they could be easily changed.
