Background
This requirement would ensure MPs genuinely live among the people they represent, fully understand local needs, remain accountable to their community, and cannot exploit taxpayer-funded perks for personal gain.
The candidate’s main residence must always be within the constituency or no more than 10 miles outside it.
To ensure fairness, reasonable exceptions may apply where constituency boundaries have recently changed.
