Does this mean that they are no longer MP's as soon as an election is called ie Parliament is dissolved?
If so, it seems odd that the system that we have is a PM with no MP's and no Parliament!
It's just been on the news that the three police forces in Yorkshire have now cancelled all leave for their staff over the Brexit period. They must be forecasting civil disobedience, which I think could well happen from either side depending on the outcome of Brexit.

There is basically a caretaker government in place to deal with essential stuff, but otherwise we have no Government or MPs during elections.
