Let the tories choose their leader and an election early next year?
Can't continue like this. At least this new leadership election will only last a week but with a mandate of even fewer people. |  |

You're making the mistake of assuming tories* have any sense of responsibility to the country or those who live in it. So as they don't technically have to, they won't.
*with one or two honourable exceptions |  |

Whoever is next will be well aware of this situation. Whilst there is nothing constitutionally wrong in the party choosing the next PM, I suspect they will recognise the issue caused by 3 PM's in one term.
I think they will agree to hold a GE in the Summer whilst they have an opportunity to bed-in to a degree and get through the winter cost of living issues. |

What I meant was this:
1) People are likely to have greater strain on energy bills over the next 6 months due to the cold weather than perhaps they would during the summer months.
2) Currently, government support in energy bills ends in April so by setting a GE in the summer gives whoever takes over an opportunity to set out what they intend to do (if anything) when the time limit on support runs out.
I thought this was fairly clear, but I understand further explanation is required for some. Do let me know if you have any further questions. |  | | |

They know that the public aren't really engaged enough for any anger to be manifested effectively — so they'll plough on and do whatever they like. |  |

Edit that - Brady has said members will be involved & a new leader will be in place by next Friday so expect a quick contest to get it down to 2 & then an on-line vote among Tory members (cringes). |
There will be a contest.
When it's down to 2, one of them withdraws leaving the PM.
No need to get the party members/loons involved. |  |
