unfolding over the next week. just by next friday, we are told that we are going to have a new prime minister sojust that are going to have a new prime minister so just that short period of time to elect a new leader. an election that happens, as we were just discussing, purely within the conservative party. for the moment, back to you, ben. that is absolutely vital to by next friday, october 28, thatis vital to by next friday, october 28, that is what so graham brady has said, the chair of the 1922 committee. we shall awaiting more details, except the how that tory leadership race is going to work. using the expectation is that the party members will be involved in the process. that is assuming there are two contenders at the end of that process and if there is only one contender it would not have to go to the wider party membership. but, anyway, the expectation is, the tory party will have a new leader by
