The New Tory Leadership Election Explained

In this video, we’re going to have a look at the plan for the Tory leadership election, when it’s likely going to happen, what this will mean for the party as a whole, and who is currently in a good position to win it.

Our mission is to explain news and politics in an impartial, efficient, and accessible way, balancing import and interest while fostering independent thought.

Considering the fact that the last time the conservative party members had a vote on who should lead them and be prime minister they chose Liz Truss should tell you they are going to pick the worst possible candidate.

I'm the worst!
_No, I'm the worst!_
NO, I'M THE WORST

I know the script was probably written a day ago but Bob Blackman has been elected chair of the 1922.

If Kemi Badenoch and Suella Braverman are your leadership frontrunners you might as well call it a day and settle in for 10 years in opposition.

2:32 If you pause the video hold a QR Code Scanner to Mrs Sunak you'll be redirected to Sky TV subscription page

The revolving door of the Tory leadership keep on spinning.

Truss and Sunak being the last two is almost hysterical, until you realize they led the country already.

my bro cosplaying as a speaker stand at 3:13 doesn't seem to be having a good time

5:43 Badenoch survived the general election, not the leadership election

[deadbushinc.]

5:43 ‘Badenoch did survive the leadership election’ lol

[istherenofreename]

What have Braverman and Patel really done? All I remember is they shouted loudly about small boats, and yet utterly failed to do anything about it.

[ibkyjoh]

Let’s hope badenoch gets in and makes the Tory’s unelectable for a generation

Neigel Farage is a back bencher who will need to be called upon by the Speaker in order to ask Kier Starmer any questions. How often does anyone think that Farage will show up at Parliament to sit on the back benches in the hopes that he is called on to ask one question from time-to-time? Bottom line, Reform UK is not leading the opposition and will not be holding Labour to account.

Several figures have been campaigning for the position since the day Sunak entered office, if not earlier. That is part of the party's problem; they never united behind him, and there is little chance of doing so behind whoever is selected as his replacement.

The potential lineup of tory leadership candidates looks like the Adams family

Really love TLDR across all channels but this new format without a desk really worsens the experience. Would really like to see the old format back!

1. There should have been an election after Johnson stepped down. 2. When Truss sunk, Sunak had no political support of anyone.

[gordonstrong]

The words deckchairs, shuffling and Titanic leap to mind.

The tories have so few mp's there's enough time for every one of them to be party leader for 2 weeks before the best election comes round 😂
