You'd just get a set of politically minded types, some with left wing opinions and some with right wing opinions.
You're not going to get politicians with the worldview espoused by many on here - ie left wing on the NHS, public services, the welfare state, taxation, but right wing on immigration, law and order, the EU.
Sorry, mate, no such animal.

And thats the problem...'party' politics....
All the tories jump up and down about communist Russia circa 1950-1980...those in power said 'vote the party way or get sent to Siberia'
So tell me what the difference is, when Hug-a-hoodie or EggM brings out the whips to coerce MP's to vote the way they want them to?
Every single MP in the house of lies and deceit has a mind of their own, unfortunately, those that pluck up the courage to use it are consigned to the back benches, never to have a chance at influencing major decisions, support and funding at election time is withdrawn, they are ostracised and eventually screwed. People with that kind of guts are few and far between.
It aint right..I'm a socialist, yet I put my cross for Ken Hargreaves..which pretty much, when you think about it, helped put Thatcher in...I didn't vote for her, didn't want her or her policies and idealism, I voted for the guy who I thought would best represent me, and I was right because thats what he tried to do.
We are all socialists at heart..we want everyone treated fairly, we want to support the sick and needy, we want to help the unemployed, the single parents, those with dementia and learning difficulties. We don't mind immigration as long as the immigrants bring something to our society, we want a fair days pay for a fair days work. We don't mind if the boss has a top of the range car and a nice house if he's put his shift in. We don't want people burnt at the stake or hung drawn and quartered on Tower Bridge, but we do want a judiciary that can hand out sentences and consequences that fit the crime without being hamstrung by ridiculous rules or having their decisions overturned by a quango in another country.
We don't want people making money without putting anything into society, we don't want those muppets on the Apprentice or those who make money gambling on bits of paper on stock market floors, that cause mass unemployment and bank collapses so that they can have another new Porsche and a holiday home in the Bahamas.
All of us..right wing, left wing, midfielder or centre back..whatever the label..want a bit of common sense, a bit of common decency, and someone to speak on our behalf!
Until there is a major overhaul of our outdated party political electoral system...it aint gonna happen
