My original post was in jest but since then I've rarely come to despise a politician as much as I despise Johnson.
And anyway it's my longest running post so fuck you!
You can’t simply resign as an MP so none. They do of course have alternative options open to them, e.g: resign the party whip, cross the floor.
Did not know that. I would have thought if you resign the party whip… I’d have it taken from you… you no longer represent the party that your electorate voted for and so should resign and re-stand as an independent.
It's a bit of a constitutional nonsense, but you don't technically vote for the party - you vote for the individual and if the elected MP swaps parties after being elected, the only remedy the electorate have is not to vote for them next time.

Boris is doing his bit for constitutional reform by removing as much as possible of the standards required of MPs and the Government though
She's an absolute loon, but also epitomises exactly where we find ourselves with our government these days.
