Conservative Party Faces Leadership Battle

The Conservative candidate selection system is critiqued by a businesswoman who, despite being encouraged to stand for Parliament, felt disconnected from the Westminster background of other candidates. In the UK, the Labor party led by Keir Starmer is projected to potentially win a landslide victory in the upcoming general election, with dissatisfaction towards the long-standing Conservative Tory party. Polls in Scotland show little change, with Labour and the SNP maintaining similar support levels, while the Conservatives lag behind. A shadow Tory leadership battle is underway, with potential contenders positioning themselves ahead of an expected contest, amidst a backdrop of the Conservative Party facing significant challenges and potential defeat in the upcoming election.
