I know I sometimes repeat this every couple of years but the UK’s electoral process reminds me a bit of the rules of cricket: that is, after all these years I don’t quite understand them.

I’m not familiar with this person, but the comments & obvious anguish amongst the commenters reminds me of events on this side of the pond back in 2016.
About 500 years ago…
My condolences.

It would be funny if the margins were a lot closer than people were expected.
As occasionally is pointed out, this vote is by conservative party members only and that list of people is not public, so how can any polling firm be confident that they are in fact polling someone who is able to cast a vote.
It’s a vote between eating a horse turd or a cow turd so ultimately the choice leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

Yup.
Brexit has made things too difficult for this country/group of countries to just keep calm and carry on any more. This winter is going to be so, so bad.

Only around 125k people can vote in the tory election.

I am very confident in my assertion that every one of those voters is an asshole.
Or a deluded idiot.
Or both.
But mainly assholes.

It’s not really an electoral process, it’s the Conservative Party selecting a new leader in an internal process where the party sets the rules.

And unlike the arcane rules of cricket, it never results in a draw.

As Tamsin pointed out: you don’t. And don’t succumb to that thinking please. The British public have been lied to and manipulated by a profoundly compromised media and don’t anyway have an input into this process which is all part of the internal English Conservative schism which threatens to destroy Britain.
I see that one of the first orders of business is to repeal whatever legislation you have enacting the Working Time Directive from the EU. Of course their voters won’t care about that because that will particularly effect those working part time or in precarious employment. No more holidays! But not for the rich!
What repugnantly evil pieces of shit they are.
Also, using the war profiteering caused energy crisis to lock Britain into fossil fuels for decades is absolutely on message for the party of Nigel Lawson (fully paid up lobbyist and profiteer in hydrocarbons).
If, as senior Tories argue, windmills are “medieval” (please excuse Daily Heil link) then surely burning hydrocarbons to stay warm is stone age?

I’m pretty sure Brian is immediately the new Brenda. The formalities are pretty much just that.
