While the previous posting touched on the political and economic policies of Britain's shortest-ever Prime Minister, who has found a replacement for the Conservative Party leader within a week, this posting describes how the Conservative Party will choose a new leader and the results of the election.
To run for office, candidates need at least 100 Conservative Party members to nominate them. This is much higher than the last campaign, which required only 20 nominations. Since the Conservative Party currently has 357 members, only a maximum of three candidates can be nominated.
