If so, and the ERS (who's purpose one supposes is to object to the FPTP system) are correct, then how do MP's ever get voted in/out?
The only MP's who get voted out are those in marginal seats where the electors swap sides to last time. Or those who for whatever sleazy reason the electorate have got thoroughly fed up with (Martin Bell won for this reason). Oh and those who are not standing for re-election this time but if they are in a safe seat will be followed up by a fellow party member.

The rest will be re-elected.
