Apologies if this has been asked elsewhere, but I tried to Google/looked quickly at the Tory website and drew a blank.
What is to stop people of all sorts of political persuasions paying £25 to join the Conservative Party and influence the outcome of the leadership election? I thought there might be some sort of freeze on new members at the moment, or a minimum membership period before you were eligible to vote.
I know that the end result would still be a Tory, but I am just so depressed at the prospect of Boris.
