It's not possible all 36% are against the leave plan. Some may have their own career aspirations (and their own associated cliques), some may feel that she isn't the best person to take the party forward for the next 12 months.


Another question is whether the 36% represent the people who vote Conservative, and the Conservative membership as a whole.
