Why would they be 'chasing' any voters with up to 5 years until the next election? How about do your jobs and represent the people who did vote for you in opposition of the government? Then you might win back some respect of the electorate.

I thought the whole point of 5 year terms was to avoid the constant election cycle.

Surely this can be solved by randomizing the order they appear on the ballot for each person? Then the impact would be negligable

Actually MPs are just 'Honourable', only Privy Council members are 'Right Honourable'.

I wouldn't read too much into the Sun endorsement. Murdoch hates to be wrong, and they would have come out in favour much earlier in the campaign if they were actually ideologically aligned.

Not lack of investment, lack of expenditure in favour of payouts to shareholders instead.

And notably, the odds for this happening were extremely low, because the vast majority of the time the team that catches the snitch wins

Perhaps the OP intended this, but I have seen the snowflake version of this much more commonly than yours:

No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.

From wiki:

On November 12, 2020,[20] for his 31st birthday, Varshavski traveled to Miami to attend a beach party that was also attended by a number of other people without masks, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Footage of the event was posted on Instagram and went viral, particularly on Reddit.[21] On November 18, Varshavski apologized for his actions in a YouTube video,[22] saying he "messed up" and he needed "to do better".[23] His attendance of the party was criticized by medical professionals. Bioethicist Arthur Caplan, director of the division of medical ethics at NYU Langone Health, said Varshavski "fails completely in being an appropriate role model and he should be called out, and he deserves even more criticism than he's getting so far."[23]

Doctor Mike lost any respect I had for him after his behaviour during the pandemic. He is a content creator far above being an actual medical professional.

Not even Millennials see action against your employer as 'betrayal'. Company loyalty is dead, and this professor is out of touch.
