But then so could you and I. But ATM the odds of us being made a gov minister are about the same. At least for me. You may have won a few MP elections I do not know about.
Def Possible. But given, such positions are political in a coalition. Again, the lack of power of vote risking party makes it unlikely.
I’d guess it’s more likely under a majority, where he gains a reputation for a specific subject. Under FPTP, coalitions tend to need to appeal to the multi MP parties to survive.
He could be Prime Minister if the house stood behind his leadership. It’s only convention that makes the leader of the largest party the presumptive prime minister. The house can send whoever they want to the king.

As an independent under FPTP.
Nope that can never happen. He can only ever win one seat.

Not as an independent, no, but he could form the Recyclon party with a few of his kin.

I suppose he could become a cabinet minister in a coalition though.
