In their would-be leaders, Tory MPs face a choice between competence and electability
, the house journal of Conservatism, features a buffet of op-eds by ambitious Torys. Theresa May might still be resident in 10 Downing Street, but the race to replace her has already begun.
They could change the party’s rules to allow another leadership challenge, according to former heads of the 1922 Committee, the organisation of backbench Conservatives which decides these things. Activists are mulling a confidence vote of their own, after scouring the party’s rule book. Another option is a cabinet coup. Government would grind to a halt if cabinet ministers simply told Mrs May it was time to go.
Yet Mr Johnson’s incompetence is balanced by his perceived electability. His leading role in Brexit has made him less popular and more divisive. But he is still the Conservatives’ most recognisable figure and best campaigner. If the Brexit Party, Nigel Farage’s new political outfit, blows a hole in the Tories at the European elections next month,s may swallow their concerns about Mr Johnson’s character. Keeping Jeremy Corbyn out of government is what they want more than anything else.
