Tory members should not be able to pick leader while party is in government, says Sir Graham Brady

#Conservative Party members should be stripped of the ability to pick their leader when the Tories are in government, the chairman of the 1922 committee has said. Speaking to students at Durham University last Thursday, Sir Graham Brady argued that MPs, rather than the grassroots, should decide the successor if a Conservative prime minister is toppled. He said it was “crazy” that while MPs determined whether a leader was kept in place through the no confidence letters system, #Tory members selected a new prime minister. #politics
