Because tory MPs thought the members would chose Sunak over herMPs engineered it so that the final two were Truss and Sunak, and not Mordant or Badenoch, who were the member's picks. They assumed no-one in their right mind would vote for Truss, but then found out that the party members hated Sunak even more than Truss.
The MPs are hopelessly out of touch. They've been in power for 12 years, fucked it all up, and any person who wants to be leader has so many enemies they can't survive for more than 10 minutes before being toppled. It really is time for a general election.
Mind you, it's not as though the opposition offer any hope. They are all cheeks of the same arse.

They were relying on misogyny trumping racism

One favourite amongst the members was Kemi BadenochWhich does rather knock the racism charge. No doubt there are racists in all parties, and especially amongst party members, who have to be a bit whacko to join a political party, but I think the main reason for not liking Sunak was that he was regarded as a backstabber, like Hesiltine.
