I would put him in charge of co-ordinating the building of the 'movement', creating the nationwide network of canvassers and activists at constituency level that will support future parliamentary candidates in a way that was impossible at such short notice this time (and that would've made the C4 fiasco much more difficult to spring). The 'parliamentary party' has to be parliamentary in order to be a serious contender for government, or even opposition, in 2029. Otherwise they'll be seen as just another niche group of sad little activists like the Greens, with every seat considered a monumental victory. That's not the party any of us wants, including Ben, and I think his sacrifice will be temporary and pay dividends for the party and himself in the future in such a role. His obvious popularity among supporters makes him the perfect candidate for the role, freeing up those now in Parliament to focus more on their role without getting mired down in micro-management at grassroots level that is equally important, possibly more so.

Well said Ben habib ,please stay with Reform 4.1 million voters need you !
