What do you make of him not being challenged for the Buckingham seat?

Neither Labour, nor Lib-Dems put forward opposition, so there's only Green, Ukip and an independent. Apparently it's tradition, but is that fair for people in Buckingham?
Was it a problem in 2015?

It will be interesting to see how the above plays out, especially in light of this:

Debbie Abrahams, Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions gets suspended for alleged bullying, and then opens up a can of worms.

No because of his obvious partiality when he is supposed to be in an impartial position.

If he was allowed a vote in the referendum I don't see why he can't put a sticker in his car.

If it has to be a Labour MP then I hope Lindsay Hoyle gets the job.

His vote should be between him and the ballot box. No one else needs to know.

There are two things here.
1. He holds an impartial position above the daily grind of party politics, and should NOT let his views be known on any topic outside of Parliamentary Process.

2. Its another spectacular lack of judgement.

Agree . There are many public offices that require political neutrality as an intrinsic part of their function. No amount of moaning that he is entitled to his views matter on this subject.

Exactly, but it's about a Brexit sticker now.
