Politics, what's stopping you from running for office?

[woohoo]

Ah, I would. But I'm not resident in the UK.

phew, that's one less worry.

I've lived a life. My past would render me an unsuitable candidate.

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

Not CUK office. That wasn't election, that was nomination followed by investiture.

Ah, you mean just like the House of Lords? That explains a hell of a lot...

Bloody Nepotism!!

MF is obviously on the sex pest list. But what's stopping the rest of you?

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]

[woohoo]

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.
