2023 Conservative Party Leadership Election (Za Glutton)

=== Prelude ===
Following massive losses for the Conservative Party in the 2022 and 2023 local elections, as well as in multiple by-elections during that period, backbench MPs put lots of pressure on incumbent Prime Minister Boris Johnson to resign before the 2024 general election. At the risk of a no confidence motion, Johnson announced his resignation on 10 May 2023, but that he would remain as PM until a new leader was elected.
