You need a mix but perhaps there should be a certain age limit for politicians to operate to, say 70? Certainly abolish The Lords.
On the other end of the scale we have too many headstrong and brainwashed students who have read too many books and want to make a name for themselves. They are the more dangerous ones.
You have a good point there I personally believe all political ideals should be represented as long as they are not violent or hate filled. All age groups, and all groups of people. There are so many MPs we should be able to find a place for all types of people and idea.
