But to willingly discount MPs on the basis they’re rich, due to a previous successful career outside of politics
I'm not seeing anyone doing this. But it isn't wrong to raise a concern if your success in a previous career was predicated on greed, venality, exploitation and generally looting/fucking the country.
I could well have misinterpreted what was meant. But to take the earlier example, being CFO of Sky I don’t believe means you shouldn’t be considered as an MP (although again no idea on Andrew Griffith)
