"had been interim led by" → I have never heard the construction "interim led" before; perhaps it is common and I just haven't read it before. It does sound a little unnatural to me - I think that the slightly wordier but clearer "had been held in an interim capacity by..." would be better (note also the position was held, not led)
surrounded in a string" → "by a string"
"leading to the party losing all of its seats" → "leading to the party's loss of all of its seats..."
"The front-running candidate for the leadership election" → "The front-runner for the leadership election..."
"lead a Conservative party" → since you're not talking about the Conservative Party, but rather parties that are ideologically conservative, you can take the caps off of "Conservative"
Background
"and the following scandals that would ensue" → "and the following scandals that ensued"
"in his 1987 re-election to the" → I know what you're trying to say, but it wasn't his re-election if he wasn't re-elected
Leadership election
"who had previously served as the Minister of Agriculture" → "who had previously been the Minister of Agriculture" to simplify wording
"doing so around mid-August" → if this means that she indeed declared her candidacy in mid-August, I would break the sentence after "month" and begin "She did so in mid-August" or something similar.
"later that year" is redundant since we're talking about the specific months (Aug/Nov)
"included Saint John Mayor Elsie Wayne" → lowercase "mayor"
"though none of them would end up running" → "though none of them ended up running" or "though none of them ultimately ran" to simplify wording
"against Myers, the only other candidate" → this bit can be deleted entirely since they are named as the only two candidates in the sentence before
"previous president of the party" → what is the difference between party presidents and party leaders?
"financial and personal support."" → move full stop outside quotes per
MOS:LQ
"become leader of a Conservative party" → lowercase "Conservative" as in lead
Hello again @
PCN02WPS, thanks for the review! Regarding your question about the difference between party presidents and leaders, the president is the head of the party's internal/administrative work. The leader, on the other hand, is the politician who leads the party in elections and serves as the premier of the province if their party secures a majority of seats in the legislature from an election. Feel free to let me know if it's alright leaving that unchanged. Otherwise, all concerns have been addressed. B3251(talk)04:59, 29 June 2024 (UTC)reply
