I was in response to boristrump's comment: He seems to think Abbott and all aren't "professional" enough.
But yes, then what IS professional.
-Career politician?
-Coming from another background but politics can fit?
-Whatever your favourite paper says is professional?I'd hope knowing your job and not being a tit is enough, but there are no neutral ways to evaluate this. The bitching about Corbyn shows a lot of this.
Time for a big computer I say...one that doesn't hate us (too much) ;)

I didn't mention 'professional', and as you suggest that has all sorts of partisan interpretations. The fact is I just honestly don't think they're good enough. I worked for a short while in local government, and came across a lot of people like the current Labour team. They were characterised by their contentment to operate their own realm, while showing little understanding of how to engage (and adjust) meaningfully with the realities of the outside world. They were bound by far too many years of second-rate working practices to stay within their own self-reinforcing world.
