ction invariably becomes prime minister the political task of the leader of the conservative party is if possible to win a general election for or at least to secure the survival of the conservative and unionist party 276 william hague has described the tory party leadership selection process as absolute monarchy moderated by regicide 276 historically the leader of the conservative party was chosen by a magic circle of senior figures from which after a customary processes of consultation within the party an opaque process led to a new leader emerging 277 in 1957 anthony eden resigned and was expected to be succeeded by rab butler who was expected to win or harold macmillan unexpectedly alec douglas home was chosen iain macleod in the spectator suggested that the leadership race had been fixed by the magic circle of nine senior conservatives eight out of whom were old etonians 278 douglas home saw the need for democratisation and in the mid 1960s instituted a new mechanism for selecting a leader they would be elected by conservative mps in a process presided over by the chairman of the 1922 committee to stand an mp needed a proposer and a seconder after a first ballot a candidate with both an overall majority and 15 more of the votes cast than any other candidate would become leader otherwise there would be a second ballot with the winner of an overall majority becoming leader if still no winner the three top candidates would take part in a final ballot with mps voting for their first and second preferences edward heath won the first election under these rules in 1998 when william hague was party leader he introduced reforms intended to make the election more democratic mps would vote repeatedly to whittle the contenders down to two one of whom would be picked by a vote of the entire party membership these rules current as of 2025 are explained in detail in a house of commons research briefing with brief description of earlier procedures 279 once

british politics was published in july 2020 concerns over conservative party funds have become increasingly controversial due to vladimir putin s human rights abuses and the russian invasion of ukraine 306 one of the first was lubov chernukhin wife of former deputy finance minister and investment company veb rf founder vladmir chernukhin who had donated north of 2 2 million as of the start
