Maybe UKIP would take him, it would double up their parliamentary party, but I suspect even they would think twice. More likely he'll end up being an unwanted independent, hanging on until 2020 in order to scoop up as much cash as possible before his inevitable demise.

Which means herr Danksuck would get his arse soundly kicked. Which means I'm decisively in favour of such bye election. Which also means the New Labour gang are again in deep shit because it would demonstrate people vote for the party, not for the individual MP. Which means they'd have to do one and form yet another SDP doomed to failure.<br /><br />But all of this plus the Labour leadership shenanigans and tory ur-fascism shows just how out of touch the House of Scoundrels is with "ordinary" people. Hopefully the whole rotting edifice will be soon declared unfit for purpose. We might even begin to see some genuinely representative democracy instead of the PR bullshit and mainstream media lies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
