The Guardian reports "senior Tories" suggesting that "Conservative activists could throw the party's leadership race into chaos by voting to retain their say on who succeeds Michael Howard."
Ballot papers have now been sent out to the "1,133 members of the party's Constitutional College, comprising MPs, MEPs, peers, association chairmen, area and regional officers, members of the party's board and other senior volunteers" (see Telegraph story that begins with a report on Sir Malcolm Rifkind).
The warning of "chaos" is at the heart of the Tory high command's strategy to win a two-thirds endorsement for the scrapping of individual members' voting rights. Tory high-ups have abandoned attempts to persuade members of the virtues of the proposals and are now emphasising the danger of a 'no' vote and the uncertainty it may produce.
If party members do vote 'no' the constitutional default option is to go back to the rules used to elect IDS. Many suspect, however, that MPs might ignore a rejection of the proposals and simply organise their own MPs-only election anyway. There would be a contest and then the winner would be approved unanimously in the kind of 'vote of approval' that saw Michael Howard become Tory leader.

Branded handbags are also referred to as designer bags. They are recommended not only for their fashion value, but also because they are generally sturdier. In this manner, comparing them with cheaper handbags will eventually lead one to the conclusion that they are actually cheaper, because they last longer.
Fine Jewelry watches like Bvlgari watches, high fashion ones like Chanel watches or hi-tech [url=http://www.chinesegiftonline.com/products_new.html]chanel classic flap bag[/url] Besides all these, use plain common sense when buying a replica handbag, watch, shoes, or other products. If the company seems to be anything less than trustworthy, then don't take a chance - even if it means spending a little more on your replica products.
