Ray > if Blair fails to prevail in Sedgefield, won't he be disqualified to continue in government?

Makes sense but I don't know for sure.

Ray > I'm no expert on the UK parliamentary system, so I could be completely wrong

Think US -- think Ohio -- think Florida -- and you'll be an expert.

>>Opinion polls conducted before the election and exit polls taken on the day gave the seat to the independent Reg Keys, the father of the British soldier who died in Iraq.

Election monitors have declared the election "far from free and fair" after it emerged that a police investigation into vote-fraud allegations were stopped by higher authorities and a group of Sedgefield residents claimed that they saw election officers switch poll boxes as they were loaded to the backs of the delivery vans.

But Mr. Blair appeared to be completely unfazed by the criticism as he stood on the podium as the disputed results were announced.

"Too bad he wasn't loyal and true to us," one resident in the crowd was heard to say. "Not only did he lie to us, he also stole the election from us."<<

Yes, I blair lost his seat he could no longer be Prime Minister, as he wouldn't even be a Minister in the House of Commmons anymore. But, the results I saw showed that he blew away the Conservative yesterday, it wasn't close. What is the dispute?
