What would happen if BJ had lost his local election? 

Someone from a safe seat would be elevated to the Lords, by election and easy win.

I think you might wish to revisit the conversation you had:

Kill them selves? Are you really stopping that low? You are a disgrace. 

Learn to **** read.

People are literally killing themselves over cut benefits, being told they have to go back to work even though they physically can't.

The Tories did that. They did it. You voted for them and they did that. They will continue to do that because you endorsed them.

That’s not the Tories fault though is it.

**** hell. They've been in power for the last 9 years. Who else's fault was it?

Wtf are you on about?

If a benefit claimant, who can't work due to his disability, is forced to work by the Tories, it's his fault?

That is disgusting.

He budgets better doesn’t he.

But he’d not be able to be PM?

They find a safe seat, bump that MP up to the Lords and shove the Johnson in there.

You clearly said it. Go back and read it.

Twitter is fun at the moment, good advert for having to pass some sort of test before getting an internet connection.

Oh & #Corbynout is now trending

For the tiny amount of time needed to trigger the by-election. Apparently Raab would take his place (lmao)

The amount of people talking about anti-semitism, like the tories have won votes from people appalled by racism. **** lol. 

Justification for their vote. Nothing in it, it's insincere.

Ah I see. Thanks. Be pretty humiliating for him. It’s a distant second prize but would be a momentary distraction.

The electorate don't care.

As a people, I think I like the scotch a lot more than the English.

It's a debateable issue. There's technically no requirement for the PM to be an MP (though it would obviously cause some issues wrt PMQs, for example).

I think Douglas-Home was PM whilst still in the Lords and renounced his peerage to satnd for election but then wasn't a member of either house for the period between renouncing the peerage and being elected.

[Risso]

I don't think there's anything in law that says that a PM *has* to be an MP.

I think Demonic "Wait, Dover is an important trade port?" Raab remaining in parliament is a loss for us all.

Maybe people the Labour party will realise now (to paraphrase a darts cliche)...

Twitter for show, ballots for dough!
