The spotlight moves there in the morning when the Prime Minister returns to number 10 to either form a new government or leave office. Even then nothing happens in Parliament or College Green - despite the fact that it's all about electing people into Parliament, it's not actually involved in the election.
Even on July 5th I don't there will actually be any MPs yet, as they're not sworn in, let alone have their commons passes. Those that have won will mostly be in their constituencies, there's no need for them to come to London except if they're part of the new cabinet
I think winning candidates legally become MP’s the minute they declared elected, Sinn Fein mp’s are never sworn in but are legally MP’s.
