Better yet, Ed should refuse to sign his nomination papers when the time comes.

He's said he won't run again.

Which presumably means he refuses to resign his seat, drawing his pay til 2015 and refusing the SNP a prime by-election pickup opportunity.

Joyce has apparently jumped before he was pushed resigned from the Labour party:

He still seems to be intending to stay on as an MP.  The Commons could, I believe, vote to expel him, but that hasn't been done since 1954.

It would be interesting to see, although I think such a vote might be one of the few times a motion to sit in private would succeed...

Ah, he's turned full on PoMo. I get the horrible (yet amused) suspicion that there may be more of this.

Eric Joyce is the only non-SF MP actually doing his job. Grin
