@ChrisMayLA6 I assume that the #Starmtroopers calculated they had a binary choice between two packages of outcomes:
A/ hold the GM mayoralty, lose Gorton, block #Burnham's coup
B/ lose the GM mayoralty, hold Gorton, get defenestrated by #Burnham.
Not being keen on defenestration, they chose package A. So they have selected a corporate lobbyist as #GortonAndDenton candidate to be eaten alive, but they keep their jobs in #Number10 for a bit longer.
