Topic: Farage resigns as an MP.
Green !pDif3ODBl. started this discussion 2 weeks ago #136,115 Just so he can have an election to become MP in the same seat he stepped down from. Seems like a dead cat.

What purpose does the resign then get re-elected thing serve? I read somewhere it suspends the parliamentary investigation, but that it can also be reopened any time so why bother?

He is getting an appointed peerage, the investigation doesn't apply to the House of Lords.

I thought they changed that where life peers didn't automatically get a seat in the House of Lords anymore?

I’m American, but I think they should build a bunker for the British king under a mountain and give a ring to parliament.

I'm not sure what you've read, but power is more concentrated than ever. They'll get anyone in there a plump fief.

It's populism

Anonymous J double-posted this 2 weeks ago , 1 minute later, 19 hours after the original post[^] [v] #1,445,458 I guess my feeling on him is I’m not British so I don’t care if he wins, but he’s too goofy for me to take him seriously as a respectable politician, but that’s how I feel about Britain as a whole anyway.

But he's standing as an MP again, so he is not going to the Lords.
