Of the 4 members of parliament who recently announced their resignations, one has yet to step on stage and actually resign from the DPR. As I write Dorries is still the Westminster MP for Mid Bedfordshire – a neighboring constituency.
An initial case for him to be a peer was blocked by the Lords panel dealing with the matter. I just wonder if the move has stopped because of the record in Westminster over the last year. The Guardian highlighted the record low attendance and how few Commons votes followed. This is from the Guardian report:
Dorries last spoke in the Commons in July last year, and has voted only six times so far this year. While she is a prolific Twitter user, she has barely mentioned local issues in her feed this year, focusing mainly on Johnson and her talkTV show…She does not list her constituency office address on her website or parliament. glass. Some locals say the last known office, in Shefford town, has closed and is now a dance studio. It is not known if, or when, he conducted constituency surgery.
I guess this is a big factor for the Lords Committee when making a decision.
I won’t bet on the election until we know it’s going to happen.
