To ask a few politics questions

[JazzAnnNonMouse]

What happens if the leader of a party doesn't get elected as an mp?

What do all other mp candidate that don't win do for the next 5 years (especially the career politicians)

What do career politicians who stop being politicians do in general (not the famous ones like borris and tony Blair)

That's really interesting - thanks everyone!
I've always wondered how people afford to get into politics etc

So they don't get paid whilst campaigning? And have to pay to go to events? It doesn't sound like it's very open to low incomes which is a shame.

I agree that most backbench mps are doing it for their constituents but there are quite a few v rich white men in the hoc - it's not exactly representative.

The answer to number one is continue being leader until your untimely and sad death, and be succeeded by the deputy leader and the deputy leader's ginger cat. Well that's what happened to the Monster Raving Loony Party.
