So what happens now?

Liz Truss is seriously damaged as a Prime Minister. She may stay, but unlikely. If she goes, what happens next?

The Conservative Party are supposed to let the members vote again for a Prime Minister from a group of candidates selected by MPs. Will this happen again?. So we get someone as Prime Minister who lost last time?

Or is there a Plan B where the Conservative Party can rewrite the rules?

I ask because I am confused and can't see what the process will be to have a new Prime Minister.

We should have a new general election. All the politicians are liars and we’ve just had bad apple after bad apple with the Tories. I grew up in a Tory household and I cannot stand Liz Truss. She has no idea what she’s doing. We need a new party, not keep scraping the barrel for new PMs.

I agree to a point, but if we had a GE I have no one to vote for.

Obviously can't vote Tory, I can't vote Labour until they work out what a woman is, and the Libs seem to be on the missing list.

I would love to get rid of the whole lot of them and replace with some decent politicians.

It does not matter if there is no one you want to vote for. But it is about democracy.
But I can't see that happening with the current polls. So what will the Conservative party actually do?

I kind of think it is important to have someone to vote for unfortunately.

@jollygreenpea i agree, I can’t think of who I would want to vote for either. All Tories want to protect their millionaire status at the cost of the working class. Labour I don’t like anyway and I’m not really Lib Dem. This poor country is in such a mess and I truly worry for my DC.

Democracy matters.

Yes that's true and will always be, but I imagine there may be more this time. What happens if all spoilt their papers?

That won't happen. We have had general elections before where the voter turnout has been low.
