Regardless of their party or background, I'd like our politicians to have actually done something like proper hard work at some point prior. All the top parties have a tranche of PPE students on the fast track, whose entire lives are directly, or tangentially, about cultivating their political career.
I want people who built their own business for 20 years, or who worked in a steel mill and stood up to protect their colleagues from nefarious practices, who are later convinced by others that their talents could serve the public good.
