The problem is there is not one major politician out there that makes me want to vote for them. Not one of the current crop instills any sort of confidence in me that they know what they are doing.
There is a distinct lack of real world expeirience in the commons. It used to be that a Labour MP had worked his ass off down a coal mine or similar and risen through the trade unions, and that a Tory MP had been some sort of captain of industry. We have ministers for defense who have never seen action, chancellors who have never worked in the city, the list goes on.
Nowadays they are just bred straight out of Oxbridge, work in political PR for a couple of years, then try and get a seat.
