PRITI FALLS IN ROUND ONE

Priti Patel has been eliminated from the Tory leadership election in the first round of MPs' voting.  Patel finished bottom of the pile in the first of five ballots held to determine Rishi Sunak's successor.  Wild card entry Mel Stride finished fifth, one vote behind the globalists' preferred candidate Tom Tugendhat.  Robert Jenrick topped the poll, six votes ahead of Kemi Badenoch.

A second round of voting will take place on Tuesday, assuming no-one drops out voluntarily before then.  The distribution of Patel's 14 votes will decide who is eliminated next and with just 12 votes between Stride and Jenrick, mathematically it could be anyone.

Following the Tory conference at the end of this month, a further two rounds of MPs' voting will reduce the field to two candidates.  Only after that do grassroots members get a say.  The system is hardly democratic, with the final line-up decided by 121 MPs - three of whom did not even register a vote in the first round.
