Have to cause a by-election, so I would say yes. Yes these are sitting MPs from the current parliament. You can if you wish include the speaker or any of the Northern Ireland parties. I am pleased to say I have received the first entry(apart from mine). ok, I'll have to refresh my knowledge on incumbent MPs, it's been 11 years since I moved away so it'll be a challenge to come up with 30 names, but I'll certainly give it a go. If I can be of assistance here, I used the list of Parliamentary constituencies on Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_Kingdom_Parliament_constituencies) and went from there to cross check incumbents (which are 99.5% correct, I found one that hadn't been updated). Sped up the task no end.

Gone for Cliff Michelmore, I'm never right so I might as well be so wrong it's got a chance.

Franz Wright, US Pulitzer prize winning poet, dies at 62 after a long struggle with lung cancer. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-3083492/Franz-Wright-prize-winning-poet-dead-62.html

My entry is now sent to Bibliogryphon. Team Name: No Seat For Rump (Parliament). Fingers crossed!

Just a thought (as I reach Stoke On Trent Central, gawd this is turgid!). There is a proposal regarding recall of MPs, and this might become law during the Parliament. Should we have an indication of a points award in such an event?

Aye, but that story is fairly non-specific on who the alleged fraudsters might be. There were allegations of intimidation by UKIP at the polling station, so - does anyone know - are they the ones suspected of fraud. Fraud inquiry closed. http://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/577149/South-Thanet-election-fraud-investigation-closed

The list was too quiet yesterday, almost like a hush that descended awaiting this news. Irreplaceable.
