Sorry!!

Just in case you’d wondered why there wasn’t much traffic - it is an interesting subject.

I missed the other one I'm afraid. It's probably better to just post there.

Maybe they realise that they will not be re-elected and are lining up their new jobs.

After all they have mortgages and families to support, not all are the product of a parental trust fund.

But that means they will only stand if they can be sure they will win. I understand the income side of it but it does tend to make you think Tory MPs only want to win and have no real principles when it comes to running the country.

That's how we get lumbered with the Johnson's of this world.

Or maybe the ones leaving are the MP’s with principles and have had enough?

Yes from what I heard today, the abuse, sometimes death threats, are causing some to say they won't stand.
The cowardly key board warriors.

gg13 yes that is what is being suggested along with trying to get ahead of other Tory MPs likely to leave/lose their seats, and get what few jobs are open to them. Apparently businesses are largely not interested in the skills sets that MPs have to offer.

I guess it depends on whether they had any skills other than working in politics before they became an MP.

Predictable..

So having made a complete pigs ear of running the country for the past thirteen years, they're throwing their toys out of the pram? Pathetic!
