  3. Are the UK taxpayers okay with this practice of MPs resigning then running for reelection again? It seems that it’s a waste of money and time while making a mockery of the democratic process.

    Doing this to kick the Standards Committee investigating him by a year. Of course, that doesn’t matter right now. Anything to avoid scrutiny.
