Sounds like O'Mara should not have been put ip to stand for the Commons in the first place. However much he wanted it, his health was not sufficiently robust to face the stress (same as if he's had a dodgy heart). Somebody gave that the go-ahead and ought to be censured for their irresponsibility.
Perhaps, also, there ought to be better support systems in the party and in Parliament. |  |

The Carl Sargeant suicide highlighted the need for better support within oarty political structures.
Sadly, we seem to have dehumanised politicians and it takes an episode such as this to realise that they are normal people with normal frailties.
See also Jo Cox. After she was murdered people realised what a good caring person she was. There are many good caring people from all sides of the political divide. | |

Now I know nothing about Jared O'Mara but this does seem to be the default excuse nowadays when someone behaves disgracefully. |  | | |

Hmm... a brief mention of the issues at hand, followed by blaming anyone and everyone else for the situation.
The fact of the matter is that if he has been assessed by his own GP as unfit to carry out his duties, he should stand down and allow his constituents to actually be represented. Instead he's stated he'll stand down at the next election, and is more than happy to continue collecting his £80k p/a salary (plus expenses) until then for sitting on his arris because he's been signed off.
To be honest, part of me wonders whether the whole thing was a well-planned set-up/stunt, or perhaps I'm just getting cynical in my old age. |  |

Does your assessment apply to any other job? Are you saying that you should resign from your job if you have mental health problems? |  | | |

The job of an MP isn't quite like any other job.
If someone working in a 'normal' job has to be signed off, there's not a great wider impact. O'Mara's unfitness to carry out his role means that none of his constituents are being represented.
I would imagine that in the real world, someone in O'Mara's situation would be subject to a capability assessment. Why should O'Mara get special treatment so that he can keep claiming his £80k p/a for doing f*ck all? | |

If the job is contributing to poor mental health or if your mental health is preventing you doing your job, you need to take a break from it. Every employer should support an individual in doing that. If our political process does not allow for that currently, it is something that needs to change. |  |
