Also I would dispute the idea that MPs per se are not experienced or skilled. There are 650 of them, and a lot of them are excellent public servants who have had, or still have varied careers and a range of skills.
Maybe the ones in the spotlight aren't always following that rule, but that says more about the media, and as @Dammit says, the people who are electing the government, rather than the role or institution itself who are giving it a bad name and accentuating its negative aspects.
It's like what happened in the wake of Jo Cox's murder- a lot of people suddenly had their eyes opened to what impact a diligent, hard-working MP could have, and saw what MPs out of the public eye were achieving.
