Yes, I think money and power matter to them more than doing right by their constituents.
It is 'What can I get out of this job...rather than what can I do to make lives better for those who gave me their vote. I think that may of them see us as ill educated mugs and morons.

Margaret, I'm sure, like me, you realise that the days are gone when someone made their fortune in whatever business, normally by the time they were 50-ish, then decided to put something back into the community by standing for election as the local MP.
These guys were so well respected, and went on to successfully look after their constituency, mostly until they passed away!
Compare that with these so-called career politicians, who seem to enter Parliament at ever so younger ages, (eg, the 21yr old SNP who quit after two years)!
It is now obvious, from recent history, that the likes of Mr A B Liar, & Cameroon, just do not have the 'life' experience to govern this great country of ours.
Unfortunately, like you, Cashman, and many others on here, we are no longer in a position to stand for election.... if we were all 20 years younger, we could form a considerable alliance & defeat all those that would do our country down!
