It would be hugely entertaining. However, the 1922 committee bend the rules when it suits them. There’s no way they’ll admit in public that the threshold has been reached even if it does, and I don’t think it will because even the loony right has a majority who have a sense of self interest. It’s too late politically now that the general election has been announced, and there’ll be a leadership election after the general election anyway, even if something remarkable happens and they keep a slim majority or achieve a coalition.
