"Rhetorical questionthat's what happens to people who have never had a real job or run a business,going straight from uni to Westminster will do that to a person"
Chat GPT tells me that:
In the current UK Parliament (post-2024 intake) the most common previous professions among MPs are (in rough order):
1. Lawyers (barristers and solicitors)
2. Business / company executives & directors (including finance)
3. Teachers and academics (school teachers, college/university staff)
4. Journalists & media professionals
5. Civil servants / public sector professionals
6. Local government politicians / councillors
Quite a few have ran a business then? |

People who do that are generally called ignorant — ignoring information based on the source instead of checking if it’s true. Facts don’t stop being facts just because of where they came from. |

Politicians are twats because they have forgotten, or never knew the reason for being in government is to serve the nation not control it for their own purposes.
On the subject of ai, if your chosen engine doesn't know the answer it can't say "I don't know" so it just makes up an answer. It's known as hallucination. If you respond with this isn't true it'll head off to find another answer. |

I do not doubt some people enter politics because they genuinely want to make a difference.
Once voted in that is quickly forgotten and they want to stay a passenger on the gravy train no matter what. How many other jobs allow someone to claim an allowance to employ relatives or a lover.
Principles go out the window while the MP is willing to do anything to hold on the privileged position they hold - and the salary/allowances.

The last person to enter the houses of parliament with honest intentiond, was Guy Fawkes and look what happened to him.
To me anyone that goes in to politics, will end up with their hands tied to do or say what the party wants, or will be out for themselves. |

That is the root of the problem.
Apart from a handful of single issue independents from the last GE the only realistic way into the commons is as a candidate for a political party.
Once elected you are expected to tow the party line which is enforced by the whip's office.
Occasionally a few will rebel over a particular policy but it's quite rare and usually short lived. Having the whip removed (basically kicked out of the party) is pretty much a political death sentence. Very few get re-elected as independents once they've been booted out.
I think a good few start out with good intentions but the whip's office quickly kicks it out of them. |

Look at Kilrot Silk, he went into politics to make a diffetence. He left as he could do nothing, without the party approval. |

All politicians are twats because they generally only look after themselves as they are career politicians. And would likely sell their grandmother to get on in politics.
Oh and they always lie or deliberately bend the truth to their real plans.
Tell us in the news after the budget that they are asking us to pay a little more. Well I don't remember being asked. And I'm certainly not going to benefit from what they've done.
Guy Fawkes had the right idea, unfortunately he was caught. And at least Dick Turpin wore a mask when he stole from people, instead of being as brazen as politicians. They couldn't lie straight in bed. |
