They’re basically saying that the person is more important than the Party at election time and I think most would agree that that is seldom the case.
I also feel it should happen with a change of PM.

For me i would give 6 months to call either an election or by election. That is fair to the person concerned as gives them time to demonstrate ability to do the job in their new role/ party.
