Ive said it before and ill say it again,You have to be so very suspect with the stated motives and aspirations of people who wish to put themselves forward for high office today.I'm not tarring everyone with the same brush and I'm sure there must be some who have the interests of the country and what service they can give it.But, it now looks like the caliber of characters who jockey for positions with all the political parties are very much from the same mould, ie, indoctrinated PPE, with a public school upbringing, be it with family money or scholarships who have never had a job of work outside the political industry. They wouldn't know work if it kicked them in the nuts.There now seems to be very few "normal" individuals who have a vision and aspirations to better the country rather than to be seen and attracted to the right "insiders" who will ensure they eventually ride the gravy train that enriches them rather than benefits the country. Be it in the Commons or when they are "promoted to the Lords for "services to the country"Very few of this despicable mob are worth a light and i would be checking their credentials and bona-fides before i gave then the time of day.A very rotten carcass at the heart of this country.
Fascinating.Folk list the standard of what they see in TORY MPs, then say all MPs are like that.

Money, power, influence. These three elements are rife in business and politics. Take Rishi Sunak for example. Here is a bloke and his Mrs that don’t need money. So why is he in politics?Because money alone does not complete the trio of these key elements. His political status gives him influence and power. Which makes his financial status way, way more valuable. In many ways, influence is way more important and valuable in the 21st C than sheer wealth.
