  • but if a CXO of some major business/company wants to take a massive pay cut and attempt to make things better for the country (rather than use it to further line their own pockets) is that that terrible?

    Yes, in fairness I think you're right, and I think the same but didn't notice I was being hypocritical in pointing out his wealth / credentials whilst knowing absolutely nothing about Griffith, who I merely assume is awful because he's a tory.

    I suppose it matters where they made their wealth, but it's true without delving into his past / non exec directorships etc, being the head accountant of a huge company probably shouldn't automatically disqualify one from standing. On the face of it, Media also probably isn't the worst background to come from (compared to oil majors / arms / other things)

    The motives should be heavily questioned though - I've no idea if Griffith has been, Sunak certainly wasn't before being made chancellor then PM.

  • Yep, in agreement here! Feel it rarely actually comes up where people interrogate why politicians are in politics, or you just get some inane bullshit. Except to say perhaps their dad was a toolmaker.
