No email: 20,000 Conservatives in the UK will not be able to choose a prime minister

Thousands of senior members of the Conservative Party could be denied the right to vote because they party email not pinned.

In the UK, about 20,000 members of the Conservative Party will not be able to take part in the election of premier.

The reason is they have no party e-mail.

The Times writes about it.

Thousands of older members of the Conservative Party could be denied the right to vote because they do not have a party email assigned to them, according to the publication.

They are scheduled to receive a phone call over the weekend urging them to create an email.

However, it turned out that even those who had mail could be disenfranchised, as some Conservatives did not receive letters giving them the right to vote. Most of them received confirmation of their right to vote on Thursday evening, a few hours after Liz Truss resigned as prime minister.

Recall, on Thursday, October 20, British Prime Minister Liz Truss announced her resignation during her Downing Street speech. She served as head of the British government for only 44 days, which is the shortest time in the history of the country. According to British media, the reason for her resignation was a radical tax reform that caused chaos in the economy, collapsed the pound and did not find support among the country's business. It was because of the failure of this reform that Finance Minister Kwasi Kwarteng was fired the day before .

Truss apologized for the “mistakes” but assured that she would lead the Conservative Party in the next general election.

At the same time, a recent poll among the members of the Conservative Party of Britain shows that the favorite among the contenders for the seat of Liz Truss was former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
