Same Again?

Johnson has gone. Whatever his reason, it’s sensible from a Tory Party point of view. He became divisive. His ‘time’ will probably be to head up the opposition, if the Tories lose the next General Election.

However, imagine the scenario now. Penny Maudant gets over a hundred MPs, many from Johnson, many anti-Sunak.

Two go to the membership. Sunak with the overwhelming backing of MPs again loses to the other one.

It would be just like how Truss won, the Tories’ own Jeremy Corbyn, the ideologue who lacked the support of most MPs. (The difference is: he was genuine and she was fake, a recreation several times.)

The Tory Party in the House of Commons would explode. They might even hold their own vote afterwards and have Sunak (almost) command a majority in the House of Commons.

Or, more likely, the Maudant faction would make Sunak unable to get legislation through.

So, unless she backs down, the risk is that the Tory Party self-destructs.
