It is definitely hosed up.
To vote Yes or No on something, they going a hallway, where there are two doors the other side, Yes or No.
And you walk through the one to register your vote.

This is why there was shoving and pushing last night, some of the Tories were trying to push another through the door they wanted them to.

We have whips here in the US as well to keep party discipline, but they can't eject someone from the party at all. Thats why there are so many morons in each party, because they literally cannot be held to account to anyone except their voters. There can be political pressure put on them by party leadership, but not to the degree that the UK parties can.

Generally speaking, I'm thinking that the Westminster system is working better than the US bicambrial and 3 pillar approach. At least with a majority vote over your side you get a functioning democracy (Well, most of the time, last 6 months notwithstanding) and the minority party can't hit the emergency brake.

Genuinely amazing that her sole achievement is double tapping the queen, the economy, and the conservative party.

Most effective PM in history IMO.

I'm guessing Rishi as PM with Penny as Deputy, and keeping Hunt as chancellor will the the outcome.

Liz Truss will continue to run a caretaker government until the GE in 2025 because the Tories can't name a successor

I am a degenerate gambler who put a bunch of bets on "liz truss exit date 2022" when the odds were between 10-20/1

(they're currently ~1.5/1 and falling)

So there's a good sign that she's staying - I never win poo poo
