Many of them want Theresa May gone, but they don't have any halfway decent alternatives to take over from her.

Saner Tories like Phillip Hammond are not acceptable to the Tory rank and file, and the likes of Boris Johnson are not acceptable to anyone else.

Theresa May is one of the very worst prime ministers this country has ever had, but the alternatives to her as leader of the Conservative party are far worse. What a dreadful state of affairs for Britain!
