Which means that (unless it is restored) that they cannot run as a Conservative in the NEXT election.

They still have their seat and caucus with the Tories unless they physically move to Labour or the Liberals in the Parliament as one did today ( and he keeps his seat)

Do you have a different explanation that somehow entails Mps losing their seats in Parliament?
