I think not wanting to be a podium on election night coming in fifth place after the Natural Law Party candidate is pretty good motivation.

Quick reminder that we'll talking about Conservative MPs.

Certainly quite a few will walk into lucrative roles. Whether that's because they are talented or it's payback for favours done is open for debate.

Apparently my (Tory) MP is standing in what becomes a new constituency. He’s 71. Must think he’s still got it!

I’d be interested to see a source for that. It is the opposite of my understanding, both here and in the USA. Opposite of demographic polling I’ve seen etc.
PS Some YouGov data here:
How is Britain voting as we enter the 2024 election year? | YouGov
The coalition that won the Conservatives the 2019 general election has crumbledyougov.co.uk
As ever it highlights the older and less intelligent/educated one is the more likely one is to vote Tory.

I can't help thinking that democracy might be better served if men lost the right to vote. Until 2017 women reliably voted conservative more than men. I can't find the research now, but I have read that until then if only women had voted the Conservatives would have won every post universal...

Bastards are even going to deny us our night of schadenfreude when they are humiliated in the ballot.
We had plans for a drinking game - a shot for every cabinet minister who lost their seat. Might end the night sober if this carries on.
That letter is nauseating, by the way.

I read somewhere that they’ve been told not to all announce they are at once as the numbers are so high it would look like the party was closing down.
I bet they’ll really struggle to find candidates to fill all the gaps. Expect to see some real shit exposed over the next couple of weeks due to poor vetting; ex-EDL/BNP scum, corrupt councillors, sex-pests, Facebook bigots, all manner of crap. No one normal would want the job now, especially as it means almost certain defeat in a sports hall at 3:17 in the morning of July 5th. We definitely need to catalogue the worst of what they serve up. Given the amount of crooks, racists and sex offenders they get under normal circumstances this could be very funny!
