Impossible for it to be two weeks. They haven't opened nominations yet and that takes 3 or 4 days, then they have to whittle them down in elections. 1 election per day until they get to the final 2, the final 2 then go to the entire membership which took a whole month last time. The only way they get it done in 2 weeks is if like with May the second placed candidate is so far behind they pull out and it doesn't go to membership. I really can't see that happening here but maybe I'm wrong
He's got no chance, regardless of the politics, there's a good chance he won't even get elected at the next election. His Wycombe seat is a very interesting watch. He's been losing vote share for a while, his majority is only 4k now, Labour in a very poor election year did maintained their vote in Wycombe and the LibDems increased too, tactical voting in that seat and he's toast
This is also affecting hiding posts. I get an error message every time I hide a post, the post does become hidden but it only says hidden and not hidden by etc
EDIT: Just hidden this double post, see the hidden comment at the top of the post. Much less info than previously
All the PPS's resigning isn't about getting tainted by association with Johnson because they are too low for that.
They are resigning so they can put letters in to the 1922 and vote in any new committee / rule changes
Look at the opinion polls that have been done the last few days 83% said Johnson should go in one, Over half of Tory voters in another
The Tory party would not be tearing itself apart like this if vast swathes of their voters were in favour of what is going on, they aren't doing this out of principles
Political twitter is a very very thin slice of the population most of whom are round the bend
Facebook is each persons own bubble
TV Interviews aren't a judge of anything, lets go to Stoke again...
The reason is, he has no need to keep him close any more. The gloves as such are off
Its open warfare season
He's daring the party to rip itself to shreds and they will be doing just that over the coming hours and days
IMO he's been doing that since the referendum
Don't mistake Gove being given Cabinet jobs as anything other than keeping your friends close and your enemies closer still
If you do the election predictor posted many pages ago earlier today. Johnson loses Uxbridge and Ruislip to Labour if the vote share remains as the current running poll average (33/40/12)
