The question is how far she can drag down the party in the polls between now and then.
It’s times like this you wish a former poster, but still an avid reader, was still around to give us the inside lines from CCHQ.

It seems that there's 15%-20% of the electorate who support the Conservative Party like people support football clubs and will vote for it regardless.
On that basis, she can probably not drag the Party down much lower so keep her in place to get the flack for the broken promises upcoming in the October 31 Autumn Budget, reassure the markets and make a new start after that.
I can understand why the poster you elude to is avoiding posting on the the Forum; the lines eminating from CCHQ must be contradictory and bewildering.
