I like Dan Hodges but I think he’s reaching a bit here. Ministers get a payoff when they leave office equivalent to a quarter of their salary. They can more than afford a six-month career break in the event of losing an election and unless some of them have already been offered jobs they know are starting next spring I’m sceptical they’ll be overly concerned about the enforced pause.
