For instance, it would be unethical for a tecaher to sleep with a pupil, and I imagine there's a similar edict with doctors. The MP and the constituent are both single (separated), although the MP is still married. They met when the constituent went to the MP's surgery, so the MP has met the constituent "through the job", but the issue that caused the constituent to go to the surgery has been resolved, so there's no actual conflict of interest there. You'll appreciate that I can't reveal the name of the MP, but apart from that I can supply further details if necessary for your judgement.

With regard to the MP being married, their spouse left them quite a while ago. Thus the separation wasn't the MP's decision, although I suppose fault is a harder issue to judge. The relationship with the constituent started a reasonable time after the separation. I'm not saying that this removes the issue of whether the 'adultery' is ethical, but it was the "abuse of responsibility" angle that I wanted judgement on.

No, I don't think it's unethical. However, i think it would be unethical if that MP used his power as a member of government to grant special favors on behalf of said partner. That would then make him (or her) be serving the interests of one constituent rather than them all. If he (or she) is able to separate the office and the bedroom, then there's no problem with it.

An MP could have a romantic relationship with one of the constituents if there is no legal impediment or it was not in a scandalous situation. As long as they love each other, it is allowed under the law.

Well if you actually live in the riding your represent, your chances of finding someone in your riding to date is high. If you are legally separated, no one needs to justify any relationship.
