He said he was “elected unopposed”, which he called the “best type of election” Lincoln
Karl McCartney, MP for Lincoln, has become part of the 1922 Executive Committee, a group of backbench MPs who oversee votes of confidence and the election of party leaders in parliament.
The group then meets monthly to discuss the roles and work of the current party leader, updating them on perspectives and opinions from those within the party. It holds the power to process votes of no confidence, so long as at least 15% of the government’s MPs write a letter to the chairman requesting a vote. In the history of The 22, there have been three votes of no confidence passed through the committee, ousting Iain Duncan Smith in 2003 while Theresa May and Boris Johnson narrowly survived their own in 2018 and 2022 respectively.
Many thanks to the not inconsiderable numbers of colleagues who were prepared to sign my nomination for the vacancy on the 1922 Executive.— Karl McCartney With intense speculation that Prime Minister Liz Truss’ days may already be numbered as leader of the country, Karl McCartney’s new role on the executive could yet see a busy start as calls for her resignation continue to grow following a decimation of her initial mini-budget.
