Quote from The Sun:
Theresa May has become the first Tory leader in 185 years to face an emergency grassroots vote to oust her.
The PM is to be hauled in front of a snap meeting all 800 constituency chairmen and senior activists in June, who will decide whether to demand her resignation for failing to deliver Brexit.
Mrs May was last night informed that the threshold for a petition to enforce the extraordinary meeting has been passed.
The development is another bitter blow to the embattled Tory leader, who only just fended off a fresh bid last week by Brexiteer Tory MPs to remove her.
It is the first time in the Conservative Party’s 185 year history that rank and file activists have forced an Emergency General Meeting to discuss the party’s leadership.

Seeing as the MP's bottled it looks like the grassroots are rebelling.

They can rebel all they want, but they can’t get rid of her...
A leadership contest can be triggered in two ways: If 15% of Conservative MPs write to the Chairman of the 1922 Committee saying they no longer have confidence in the leader of the Conservative Party*, or if the current leader resigns.
* and that can only be done once every 12 months, and it took place 4 months ago

But they didn't know what they were triggering, but now they have more information they deserve a second vote or even a third until the right outcome is achieved, that's how the newly defined model of democracy works ,isn't it ?

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
Yup the Tories are pretty good at restricting their membership from influencing the leadership, I bet the Parliamentary Labour Party wish they had that!
Besides it's the correct system. The membership is like 125,000 people. So few people should not have the influence to unseat the PM.

Yup. The power of the confidence vote only lasts 12 months so they'll get a second vote at the end of the year. At which point she'll probably go.

Yeah they can do that. It's all internal Tory rules so they can do whatever they want really.

I think it's a combined effort from Gove, Grayling, Rees-Mogg, Davis, Fox, BoJo, Francois, et al - she's not doing it on her own...

Oh yes she is.
We all know Hugh, you got issues with the above, given you actually joked not that long ago, about that they all should be assassinated.

We are ruining the country, staying in a corrupted and con job union, that we can totally prosper outside of it and a totally independent country, but that is not for this thread.
