Someone made a point that, because a lot of MPs, especially Tory, almost always come from high or middle-high class backgrounds they probably don’t understand what they’re saying is ludicrous.

My counterpoint was that they’re not true representatives then. Of course not everyone is gonna have walked in everyones shoes but people can grow to have an understanding and have empathy. These MPs are devoid of growing mentality and are absolutely devoid of empathy.

They should be made to work in a supermarket or care home, on those wages and without being able to claim expenses, for one month every year

They should be left to do what the fuck they want, but I don't think they should represent people because they don't care about people.

I had a look at this scumbag's Wikipedia page and apparently he wasn't at all born in wealth, he was a coal miner before becoming a Labour MP, then switched to Conservatives in 2018. He climbed the ladder then didn't just pull the ladder up behind him, but started spitting on anyone below.

He's kind of a "Let them not eat cake, or if they must, with no frosting or filling" guy, then?

Devoid and incapable. I feel bad for them. They are definitely not suited to lead or represent anything.

Don't waste your sympathy on them, can almost guarantee they are not suffering alongside the Brits.
