Líder do Partido Conservador

O líder do Partido Conservador (oficialmente o líder do Partido Conservador e Unionista ) lidera o Partido Conservador Britânico como seu membro mais antigo. A atual titular do cargo é Liz Truss, que foi eleita para o cargo a partir de 5 de setembro, após sua vitória nas eleições para a liderança do partido.[1] Truss renunciou ao cargo de líder em 20 de outubro de 2022, apenas 45 dias após ser eleito. Outro líder substituirá Truss em 28 de outubro. Até então, ela permanece titular.

Desde a formação do partido em 1834 até 1922, o líder do Partido Conservador não era um cargo formal; em vez disso, havia um líder partidário em cada câmara do Parlamento, e eles eram considerados iguais, a menos que um tivesse precedência sobre o outro, como quando um estava servindo como primeiro-ministro. Após a aprovação da Lei do Parlamento de 1911, a redução do poder na Câmara dos Lordes sugeriu que o líder conservador na Câmara dos Comuns seria preeminente, mas esse fato não foi formalizado até 1922.

Desde 1922, um líder do Partido Conservador é eleito formalmente, mesmo quando o partido é da oposição. Originalmente, o líder do partido foi nomeado de forma opaca por outros membros de alto escalão do partido. Esse processo foi gradualmente democratizado no final do século XX; em 1965, a nomeação estava vinculada à votação dos deputados partidários e, em 1998, o processo foi aberto a todos os partidários para decidir entre os dois últimos candidatos selecionados pelos parlamentares.[2][3]

De acordo com as regras do partido, os membros podem votar na liderança conservadora mesmo que não sejam cidadãos britânicos, não vivam no Reino Unido e não tenham o direito de votar nas eleições gerais do Reino Unido.[4][5]

Em setembro de 2022, três dos líderes do partido eram mulheres: Margaret Thatcher, Theresa May e Liz Truss, todas como primeira-ministra.
