Oh, such fun.
It has come to the attention of Michael Crick, via Campaign for Conservative Democracy, that “the Tories actually use a similar preferential voting system, a variation on AV, for all their candidate selections and elections of party leaders”.
As Crick explains:
If the Conservatives had used "first past the post" in 2005, then David Davis would have won.
Standby for some fun at PMQs tomorrow.
