Would be a shame if another party overspends to defeat him in that race too.

But in all seriousness, it might be beneficial for the new government for PP to stay on. He's deeply unpopular and it seems he's unable to change that. O'Toole would have swept this election all else being equal. Of course there's the risk of losing the next election to PP if things go really sideways for the new government.

I do hope that the government won't let them have a by-election to put PP on board anytime soon. If the Cons are determined to make it happen, it will no matter what eventually, but I hope that they won't be able to get a special exception for it. And there's no way he'll lose since he'll pick a riding that's got at least 70% support already.

Though it would be hilarious if he loses twice in a row.
