Re: Laws don’t apply to politicians
Phil O'Sophical,
They don't have to. The constitutional position is clear, they're MPs until the next election. Admittedly Carswell and Reckless did it when they went off to UKIP, but that's pretty unusual.
Although back in the 19th Century there was a tradition of resigning, and standing in a by-election, after being made a minister. Which was occasionally awkward, when someone lost and had to find another seat.
