    An MP in a conservative stronghold has to resign and then he can run there in a byelection to get back into the House of Commons. The timing of the byelection is determined by Prime Minister Carney though, so he could very well be put until 2026.

      Yes, quite right - but until such time as this takes place, Polivere shouldn’t be paid with taxpayer funds. Maybe there’s a provision in some rule that allows party funds to be used? {/Speculation}
