I think the membership would revolt if you presented them with a choice that didn’t include a nutter, so even if they managed to leave Johnson out it’s be Gove vs Leadsom or similar. Who have they got that the members would vote for and who is not a nutter, and would win when put on the same ticket as a nutter?

Yes, but MPs select the two candidates that go to the party membership so there will be a strong ‘anyone but Johnson’ block. Whether it’s enough remains to be seen, but he’s pretty unpopular with a lot of the parliamentary party.
