Think about it logically . if you don't have a seat in parliament, how can you lead it?? |

thats what he's saying. A polly in another seat falls on their sword, the PM steps in and gets voted in at the by-election. Therefore the PM is now in Parliament, just not representing his original seat. |

And not PM!! As soon as he loses his seat he ceases to be PM. He just say "bags that seat" he would have to be voted in. :) Btw see you got your wish in your seat. |

yup. Althought she's now starting to talk about state politics:nervous:
Yes he won't be PM for a short time, there'll be a caretaker PM until he wins the by-election, at which point he rejoins Parliament and can become PM again. |

If he wins a byelection, and if his party would want him back as leader after he had lost his own seat. :D I don't believe you will find any precedent for a caretaker PM in these circumstances!! it would be totally against just about any form of democracy!! He would have to be voted on by the people and by the party . The answer to the original question is still, no seat, no PM! |
