I feel like the opposite is the problem for some of them: they believe that if they just get rid of the leadership, it will patch-over what is, fundamentally, a deeply divided party on policy. At this point, anyone who COULD actually win the premiership in a party election would be practically unelectable in the general. Rishi will stay the PM until then, as much for the desire to not put Braverman in front of a hot mic again, as anything else.

Risky Soon-Out will hear the death knell of his government as millions of UK people vote against the government in the local elections. The police force is underfunded and broken. We have no UK National Guard to get the marchers off our high streets. The NHS which should be a National Healing Service is underfunded and propped up by subcontracting to private healthcare. Central funding to local councils has been reduced. they can't even afford to properly fix the potholes in the roads. And so on . . . .

Spoiler: yes, Rish! will survive. He will lose around 400 seats but keep one or two metro mayors and will spin it as 'not that bad,' 'governments typically do badly at local elections,' blah blah blah. We need a general election to get the Tories out asap.

Count Binface for Dustman.

As an American, I cannot understand the desire for more conservative in-fighting from some of their MP’s. Nothing erodes public confidence in a party’s leadership capacities like self-inflicted turmoil, and that’s exactly what the Tories would get if they forced out yet another PM of their own. It’s best to just ride out with Sunak and accept they had a long run that must eventually come to an end, and shift focus to being an effective opposition to regain support and bounce back quickly. Nothing is going to save their party from getting clobbered at the next election, but trying to fight the tide will only make it worse. Ironically at home the Republicans risk doing the exact same thing by considering ousting our Speaker of the House again, inviting more needlessly bad optics for the GOP right as the 2024 elections are coming up.
