Leigh @Leigh Brigsy @Brigsy Zeph @Zeph can one of you explain what "wider Conservative Party" means?

It's obviously more than the Conservarive MPs in the Commons I'm guessing. Does it include local leaders like mayors?

Conservative MPs choose who the candidates are that they want to put forward to the wider Conservative party membership to choose from. The wider conservative membership is everyone who pays a fee to be part of the party, but they've been shrinking as a party as most of their members die off. It doesn't have to be just 2 they can put as many candidates forward to the membership as they want, but it is usually whittled down to 2.

It's all the people that are members of the Cuntservative party. So more democracy with another unelected Prime Minister.
Direct election of a leader isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I mean look at the U.S.

So how many votes do you think there will be in the gold medal match?
