However the Tories are just as screwed - they pick 2 candidates and then offer those as the choice to the whole party, so if as in this case you have 1 Remainer and 1 Brexiter - they may well pick the person the MPs dont want. But I guess it's better than Corbyn scenario as at least the MPs picked the candidates.
Interesting times.......
