That's hilarious, took me a minute to see the minus
Strong support in Scotland for Ross Thomson as Tory leader.
Unfortunately for him not from the Tory party

Yes indeed. And is it not absurd that, as a result of the action of these who submitted the letters and triggered the process, we would end up with a small group of unelected and unrepresentative individuals choosing the person to lead our country in this period of national and constitutional crisis. But it does not surprise me that my pointing this out is dismissed with a disdainful and scornful wave...

Wait, I’m confused. The Tory party made her leader. The British people made her PM. Are they now saying they know better than the will of the people? Are they saying party members can change their minds?

The unrepresentative and unelected are the members of the Tory Party. That they are unelected is obvious - and being that small part of the electorate and conservative voters who think it worthwhile paying their subs to be members of the Tory Party, they are also by definition likely to be unrepresentative of conservative voters - never mind the electorate as a whole.

Ah - they will say - the Tory Party members never got to vote her leader - because the rest ran away...

The SNP have more party members than the UK Tories, something very far wrong with UKOK politics.

What exactly is a “party member “ it’s not really relevant is it
And what the heck is UKOK ?

A party members is a person who is a member of a political party.
UKOK are people who still think that the Union has any prevelense in a modern world.

And ? Does it mean anything more than that ? Does it make their vote anything more significant- it has no real relevance to anything does it at the end of the day
So it’s another childish silly saying created by someone clearly bitter about the UK being one

I spent the whole of last week in Geneva at the WTO. Believe me enough people there - including representatives from other EU member states - still do.
Another idiotic comment.

You forget that there are many who are determined to put down the UK despite the fact they enjoy the considerable benefits of being British and envied by many other nations.
If you are that concerned, why not join the Tory party, the Labour Party, the LibDems and the SNP. You're scratching at something that isn't worth a second glance.

117 is a very big number of MP's who voted against her tonight. If they also vote against her deal we are still no further forward...

Suggests they are not really her type of Tory .. perhaps they should form another party? Oh wait a minute if that happens would it or could become a coalition?
It’s time the tory’s had a purge, get back to one united party ideal ... actually labour should do the same .. might mean the people’s views are captured better.

I'm not in the slightest bit bothered about the process the Tory Party have in place to elect their party leader - none of my business and good luck to them.
But I was struck by the totally inappropriate timing of what the Johnson and the ERG instigated and the absurdity of what the outcome could have been, given where we are and the utterly crucial role of the PM trying to get an agreement that might have even the vaguest of hopes of starting to heal the terrible wounds and division splitting the country top to bottom.
And if things had gone the way of the anti-May brigade we could have ended up with an electorate of 124,000 choosing such as Rees-Mogg or Johnson as PM - and IMO that would almost certainly have exacerbated the situation, and still would were it to happen.
