What happens if the Tories win, but Boris loses his seat? Are you allowed to be the PM if you're not an MP?

Traditionally it's always an mp, leader of the party, but it's not like they wrote down their rules much better than we did. In fact they did it even worse.

He can still be Prime Minister if his Cabinet and Government colleagues can abstay from trying to wreck each other's chances enough to have him appointed to the House of Lords in the New Year's Honours. e:f,b and also didn't know you didn't have to be in Parliament Juliet Whisky has issued a correction as of 21:09 on Dec 12, 2019 |

loquacius posted:What happens if the Tories win, but Boris loses his seat? Are you allowed to be the PM if you're not an MP? There's technically no rule against it because the role of PM isn't well defined constitutionally. Douglas Home won the Tory leadership and became PM without a commons seat while he was sitting in the Lords. He shoved aside a Tory MP in a safe seat to get himself a by-election into the commons and avoid the controversy of a HoL PM. That seems like the most likely option for Boris, although it would be a lot more embarrassing to have to do it on account of losing his own commons seat. There was a Canadian PM who didn't hold any legislative position in the 80s for a couple of months and "governed from the corridor", but he immediately had Parliament dissolved for an election and so didn't have to deal with the complication that he couldn't actually speak in Parliament.

Please don't feel bad for staying with your parents, the most important thing is you're somewhere safe with people you can trust. I'm sure there's ways you can show your appreciation by doing housework etc. if you're up to it. Speaking as a borderline alcoholic: if you're in a bad mindset, drinking that amount of booze can just as easily strip away your capability to cope, and has the potential to make anxiety far worse. Nobody knows how this election will pan out, the exit polls have the potential to not be fully accurate. There's nearly 2 hours til that point though and if you're half a litre deep already and feeling like this, I cannot imagine you're in a good position to receive bad news. For what it's worth, I'd recommend getting to bed before 10 and reading the results in the morning if at all possible. Also no matter what, don't check out before your time, as tempting as your final suggestion is.

lorn Wayne posted:is this some weird attempt to get it trending That's exactly it. They were doing the same thing earlier in the election by doing stuff like using Comic Sans. This is one of the many problems with Twitter. A lefty will quote-retweet to go "lol" but the algorithm sees that as engagement and it'll spread the message further. E: That's the thing about social media in general. While there are definitely cases where bad PR exists in traditional outlets, to the algorithm all engagement is good engagement. foobardog has issued a correction as of 21:27 on Dec 12, 2019 |
