Yep, Uxbridge has a majority of just over 5000
However, itās anticipated that heās going to be parachuted into a safeĀ® seat.
Itās an entirely honourable exit.
Compared to Stephen Milligan.

Well of course.
Could we just have new candidates instead who either live there now or grew up in the constituency?

Would he dare though. He would surely be crucified if he did, the opposition would have a field day after all his cries of Corbyn being āfritā of the electorate.
In his short tenure I think heās shown that he doesnāt care what people think and the electorate seemingly have endless capacity to each hold their nose and vote the way they always have.

Quite funny watching the #VoteConservative get absolutely murdered by left wing twitterers.

I have just had a chat with Adult Unit #1. She was in agreement with your suggestion. I know where youāre coming from, but would probably go a different route.
We need a peopleās assembly and a similar concept to jury service. If we need to shrink the number of party animals to do that, it mightnāt be a bad thing.
Potentially a good idea in principle but what type of person would put themselves forward for these assemblies?
Initially it will be people who care and want to make a difference. A few of those will have real talent and move on up to the big stage and rightly so.
After a while people Will realise that these assemblies will equal a route to power and they will become infested with the same self serving wankers that ministers have as special advisors
You could mitigate a lot of that by making it a one term thing.
The best could then join the political wankers in the HoC.
EDIT: Actually answering your question, Iād just make it completely random, like jury service. People wouldnāt put themselves forward for it as such, just be excluded if theyāre totally unsuitable.

Not a massive surprise, but potentially a big indicator of where the Tory party is going. Morgan is Remain to the core.

I suspect a huge amount of pressure is being put on the remain Tories to campaign for deal or no deal
I see the Lib might stand aside to enable Greive to retain his seat as an independent- why doesnāt he just join them
Ding dong, the witch is dead.
New witch incoming.
The most accurate pollsters at the last election.

An NGO or lobbying company, perhaps?
