Is It Possible To Return After Resigning As An Mp ?.

[gulliver1]

Public Majority don't want Boris Back as an MP ever.But when he made his resignation speech he said "Very sad to be leaving Parliament.At least for Now".
Which prompted speculation of a future return. Meanwhile several Tory MPs have applied to stand for the Tory safe seat at Henly on Thames and have been refused implying it has been reserved. For who ??? .......Please God... No.

How do you know that?

[Old_Geezer]

I doubt any individual has the support of a majority of the UK population to be MP. All have different view as to who's least worse, and all politicians are inevitably flawed (well they think their suited to politics, for one).

As for returning; politicians have had returns before now, so no reason to assume it can't happen again. Maybe it depends on who wins the Tory civil "special political operation".

Have they been refused by party mandarins or the local party ?

Still waiting for Frosty to be offered a seat.

It appears that Boris has been appointed to be Steward and Bailiff of the "Three Hundreds of Chiltern" Now you all know what means ....don't you.

[naomi24]

Please answer my question.

I guess it depends which 2 of the 3 resigning MPs were appointed
first. There are 2 "office of profit under The Crown" in use, Crown Stewardships of the Chiltern Hundreds, and the Manor of Northstead. appointment to either disqualifies the holder from being an MP; however if Boris was appointed first, he will already have been replaced by one of the other two.

Naomi 09.36 Latest survey by YouGov revealed 56% of Brits would not welcome a return to politics from Johnson at any time in the Future.

No one asked me, Gulliver - but that aside, from what you tell us the Conservatives are trailing badly in the ratings since Boris was ousted as PM - which seems rather strange - doesn't it?

[gulliver1]

Mushroom 10.14 Read somewhere that they still get paid an MPs salary whilst in this never heard of before club.

[bednobs]

yes, surely there is nothing stopping a constituency voting in a candidate again, no mattter what other people who don't live there think? 50% of the country doesnt matter, it's the % of the constituency the person is standing in that does

[roadman]

its hard for a party to get the majority let a lone a single person within the party because anyone who isnt tory would say no and even some tories themselves would say no so its actually surprising the figure isnt higher than 56 because that means almost half the public would welcome him back a whopping 44 percent might i add

You're slacking, Gulliver. It's ancient. Look it up.

it depends on what the commons does...

johnson has not been suspended because he resigned first... in order for it to happen parliament would need to pass a motion implementing the recommendations of the privileges committee and insisting that the suspension be served

if that motion did pass then if johnson returned to parliament (he obviously wants to) then he would be suspended before he even set foot in the place and be faced with a possible recall petition and by-election

so yes it is possible and how possible it is depends on how hard the commons makes it for him!!

[Old_Geezer]

Which sort of suggests it all may be a "witch hunt" after all.

[gulliver1]

Naomi @ 10.22 The Cons have been trailing badly in the ratings for months now , hadn't you noticed ?.

[naomi24]

I know because you tell me, Gulliver, but my question was why weren't they trailing so badly when Boris was PM? Any idea?

[gulliver1]

Naomi 10.29 "It's ancient"..OK.

[naomi24]

So, Gulliver. when you said "Now you all know what means ....don't you. " - you didn't.

[gulliver1]

Naomi 10.55 Thought the Tories started trailing just after Boris became PM and have never recovered since.

[naomi24]

Did you? Have you checked that - or are you just giving vent to your over-active imagination again?

[vulcan42]

For somebody who has an interest in the Government in general and Boris Johnson in particular, to the point of infatuation, gulliver seems to have a very limited knowledge of how it all works.
