I keep thinking that we should run through historical left party candidates and seats, and count the proportion of Lawyers/accountants/people straight out of university verses the number of candidates and seats held by actual working people/trade unionists/people who havent come up through the university political culture. im sure it would tell us something about the capture of parties of the left by if the theory is correct people more interested in power than the truth.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
