    He’s running as a candidate in the by-election, so he’ll probably win making the whole thing a waste of time and money.

      A waste of money surely.

      But since he’s never around in clacking do they perhaps like him less now?

      Also does this mean his term would be extended or something if he won? There must be some snivelling and conniving reason for doing this. Some loophole.

        If the investigation he’s under is allowed to conclude, it’ll likely trigger a by-election. If he’s already won a by-election since the investigation started, it’s easy for him to claim everyone should vote for him again as they already voted for him while the investigation was ongoing, so there’s no new wrongdoing and no new reason to question whether he’s the right person for the job.

    Always good to see a fascist flee, but it seems the UK is stuck in a death cycle of just constantly refreshing all their leaders, unable to accomplish anything. Don’t get me wrong, having a facist leader is way worse, but like what is the way out of this?
