If Truss wins, Boris to be given a job in Cabinet, Government or as Ambasddor to Ukraine.
That could be one reason why she so far ahead in certain polls which are supposed to reflect the mood in the Tory membership.
For those that don't know, very often the membership is totally out of sync with MP's and the overall mood of the country.
I don't know if Labour has the same selection rules but it sounds quite daft to me to give party members a vote. It's the MPs that have to work or put up with the new leader.
Labour:
Unlike the Conservative Party, there is no formal role for a vote of no confidence as part of the process of a leadership challenge. Although the Parliamentary Labour Party held a no confidence vote in the leader in 2016, Jeremy Corbyn refused to resign and argued that his support among party members outweighed his lack of support from Labour MPs.
Its actually worse in Labour because of the trade union vote. They basically chose Ed over his brother Dave. The later, i would have voted for.
