Tory party leadership contenders
There are four Tory MPs in the running
to replace Michael Howard: David Davis,
David Cameron, Ken Clarke and Liam Fox.
Nominations closed on Thursday. MPs
will vote on Tuesday - the MP with the
fewest votes is eliminated. Another
vote on Thursday eliminates a third.
There is then a ballot of the 300,000
party members to choose from the last
two. The result is due on 6 December.
An attempt to change the rules to give
MPs, rather than party members, the
final say was beaten last month.
