Why do Conservative Party members need six weeks to decide on who the new leader, and new PM, should be? Surely it's possible to members to make their minds up in a week?
The voting papers have to be sent out to their registered address; if they are away on business/holiday they need to be given time to receive and return them.
Its something they should be able to streamline for the future as its too slow but its not right to change longstanding timescales at short notice. But its a matter for the Tory members not for us, just as wouldnt expect Labour to suddenly change its voting rules due to outside pressure or social media comments
Let them take the full 6 weeks, it’ll really let the public see them for what they are as they tear each other asunder, whilst the smirking Downing St squatter fiddles as the country burns.
