What happened: Stephen Flynn and Stephen Gethins resigned as MPs after their election to the Scottish Parliament. By-elections will be held next month to fill their vacant seats.
Why it matters:
- These by-elections will determine new representation for the affected constituencies.
- Voters in these areas will have the opportunity to choose new MPs, impacting local and national politics.
MNN Take: When MPs resign, by-elections are held to ensure constituents continue to have representation in Parliament. This maintains democratic processes and political stability.
