Still leader. Can’t sit in Parliament if he doesn’t have a seat. Likely made to resign and the CPC would have a leadership election. If the new leader doesn’t have a seat, they would run in a safe conservative riding once that MP stepped aside.
He's gotten the largest number of voters in Conservative history. They won't force him out if he loses his seat. They'll get another MP to stand down. If they're smart, they'll use it as an opportunity to get rid of #AndrewLawton, he's nuts, even for CPC.
seems like there’s still a big embarrassment problem there! wow! unfortunate for the mp expected to stand aside to give him a seat. i guess no residency requirements (if you’re leader)?
Someone will. They’ll be offered some kind of plum role somewhere. He might not resign immediately. But if he loses his seat he’ll have no choice. Or maybe he’ll run in AB or SK. I’d be PISSED if my riding had to have a by election right after a federal election though.
