@Andrew Gray: at the moment this is described as being very specific to the UK. Do you have any objection to widening the scope so we can use this in other countries too? I'm not sure there's a lot of value in creating lots of largely equivalent items, differentiated only by country, unless there's something unique about the UK case we really want to capture? --Oravrattas (talk) 09:57, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Oravrattas: No problem - please go ahead. I gave it the narrow definition to avoid ambiguity and also because I honestly wasn't sure if anyone else had similar policies. Andrew Gray (talk) 18:02, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Andrew Gray: Great. Lots of countries have a very strict separation between the legislature and the executive, so being appointed as a minister means you must resign your parliamentary seat. At some point it would be nice to find a way to express which position someone left to take (rather than needing to deduce it by looking for a P39 starting very close to the end date here), but for now even being able to make it explicit that this is the end cause is beneficial. --Oravrattas (talk) 22:27, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
