Quibans 34: It's May v Leadsom

May v Leadsom to be next prime minister

From the BBC:

Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom will battle it out to become the next leader of the Conservative Party after Michael Gove was eliminated from the contest.
After the second MPs' ballot, Home Secretary Mrs May finished with 199 votes, Energy Minister Mrs Leadsom 84 and Mr Gove, the justice secretary, 46.
Conservative members will now decide the winning candidate, with the result due on 9 September.
The winner will become the UK's second female prime minister.




Possible questions:
1)            What percentage of the vote did each of them get?
2)            Let’s imagine that Michael Gove came second.  How many of Theresa May’s supporters would have needed to switch to Gove for that to happen?
3)            Let’s imagine that Michael Gove came second.  How many of Andrea Leadsom’s supporters would have needed to switch to Gove for that to happen?
4)            What is the biggest number of votes you could get and still come last?
