A curious little episode

Iain Martin asks a good question about today’s 1922 Committee vote:

“This is a rather curious little episode. In what other club, society or members-run committee would nonmembers (ministers in this case) get to vote for their being granted full membership against the wishes of the existing members?”

N.B. Paul Goodman has done the maths to suggest that a majority of Tory backbenchers voted against Cameron.
