I doubt anyone is surprised, except at how long it took for the sacking to happen honestly.

He was the chairman of the party.

It takes a lot of voting to oust the chairman, but most folk saw this coming a mile away. He was Bojo’s appointee and wasn’t leaving without a lot of folk pushing him out.

He should have resigned when it all went public. But no, he had to make it difficult like a spoilt child.

No one votes for the role the position is appointed by the leader of the party i.e. the Prime Minister. Hence how he was able to sack him. Boris Johnson didn’t appoint him to the role either, he previously appointed him to the role of Chancellor, ironically after Rishi Sunak resigned the role.

How many votes does it take?

It doesn’t, the person your responding to doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

God knows. It’s all internal, they investigated and produced a report to clarify the position before he was ousted.
