The paragraph below seems to indicate that the Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams was part of the House of Commons, left the House of Commons and then returned at the next election. However, Sinn Féin has a long-documented policy of practicing abstentionism, and Gerry Adams never took his seat at the House of Commons, and therefore never left nor returned. I suggest this piece be reworked to correct this oversight, and I would like to hear how others might treat this situation.
Former Conservative Leader and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Former Labour Party leader Michael Foot, former SDP leader David Owen, three former Chancellors of the Exchequer, Denis Healey, Geoffrey Howe and Nigel Lawson, former Home Secretary Merlyn Rees, Francis Maude, Norman Tebbit, Rosie Barnes, Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams and Speaker of the House of Commons Bernard Weatherill left the House of Commons after this election, though Maude and Adams returned at the next election.
