  • I don't expect him to stay an MP for long once he isn't PM anymore. He has never had much interest in routine constituency and back bencher work.

    But as we discussed recently, MP's don't have to do any routine constituency and backbencher work. He is shameless and lazy enough to just take the money and do nothing. It's not as if he's ever worked hard for his constituents. More of an issue is that they might turf him out - he's had the smallest majority of any PM since 1924, and now that he's damaged goods, I wouldn't be surprised if they chuck him, despite Ruislip being full of cunts (come at me @mespilus ).

  • Sure but I don't think it will get to that and most MPs pretend to do the MP job. I expect if Mr Johnson ceases to be PM he will resign* his seat before any election.

  • My guess is that he'd stay until the election, due to the wrath he'd incur if he caused another potentially humiliating by-election, and the personal humiliation he'd suffer if the seat was lost, because it would still be a vote on his performance. But, yeah, obviously just spitballing.
