'Selected' by who exactly? Certainly wasn't me. Wants to help people but stands under a political party flag and no doubt will toe the political party line when told to do so regardless of the people who he hopes will vote for him....
There are 4 local people in the news today, who do not need electing, nor do they look for plaudits...

There are many more local people who work tirelessly for the community without recognition because they care.
If your son truly wants to 'help people', he'd be much better off doing it the way these guys do it. The days of entering politics to 'help people' ended with Thatcherism and Blairism.
