You have never been an MP before so why would we vote for someone with no experience?

It is worse than that, I have never even met an MP before! However, every single MP in the entire country was first voted in with no experience whatsoever, not only that but none of the current candidates for Stevenage have any experience of being an MP either. Every once in a while you get a government minister promoted to a position such as Education Secretary who happens to have been a teacher in a former profession. This, however, is very rare indeed and the norm is that we are governed by people who have little to no experience in the area they govern. This is where we have to learn to be good listeners to our advisors, Civil Servants and experts in the field.
