Yeah. But it has to be really.The problem has been too many candidates making it drawn out. They could easily have made it that someone wanting to stand has to have a certain number of sponsors to make it on to the ballot paper in the first place. Only needing two names has led to the bloated field and extended whittling down that has to be done.Agreed, which I why I thought it was unfair of Sydney to have a go at the Tory method of voting for a new leader when all parties (I would imagine) have a long drawn out system.I have no political allegiance by the way before anyone has a go at me.But wouldn’t that mean that they had to change their rules before they could commence their voting.Even more delays?They can do that any time, they don't have to do it just when there's a leadership election. The real point is, of course, that they should never have changed the rules to what they are now in the first place.Maybe, but hindsight is a wonderful thing.Not in a party wanting to run a country. That needs foresight.

Rory Stewart seems ok on the face of it, but so did Blair in the 90s I suppose.
Will he actually answer questions?
I think you'll find it's remainers that are unable to produce anything good to say about what the future will be, and point blank refuse to listen to anybody that has.
f**k me, when does the season start? Im fed up of this back-slapping, self-reinforcing clique.
Welcome back BB. In your honour here is a link to a Huffington Post article that reports activists are set to make Britain ungovernable if Boris attempts a No Deal as PM.https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/activists-threaten-wildcat-strikes-if-boris-johnson-commits-no-deal-brexit-as-pm_uk_5d039edfe4b0dc17ef08614f

However, good news to report; the Remainers have had a terrible week; Chuka Umunna, Jo Brand, Johnson almost certain to be PM, and a Parliamentary vote that looked certain to win, and got dicked.Happy days. Welcome back.
