      I've lived a life. My past would render me an unsuitable candidate.
      ...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

        You'll have had to have lived a very colourful life to be less suitable than a large number of current MPs.

              Not much of an obstacle these days, it would seem...

                Let’s face it any of us that regularly post here will have said enough to render us untouchable from an electorate point of view. I wouldn’t have it any other way. [emoji91]

                  I'm a poor liar and I'm sure I would give direct answers. Not sure how long I would last, telling the truth.

                  Plus I'm pro brexit and don't like religion (any religion). Plus I want rid of the monarchy, or just keep Megan. So I don't think I fit any electorate.

                    yeah but they are all getting caught now - even a rogue touch of the knee is enough to get kicked out of the cabinet.

                      I dread to think what would come out of the woodwork.
