But how many of the new cohort will be ERG inclined? I thought most new Tory candidates are brexit headbangers
That's a good point, and the answer is I don't know. Could be interesting for Johnson if he's got a big majority, but the largest faction within that cohort see Mogg as their idealogical leader rather than Johnson.
There's what, 40 or so of them? So yes, Johnson's majority is probably enough to sideline them.
We're now in for post-truth politics.
