There was a huge turnover of MPs in 2010.
On the Labour side, that brought in numerous of the sort of quietly impressive people who would normally have come second in the selection process, beaten by the Westminster Village golden boys and their girlfriends. But that lot decided to sit out this Parliament, since Opposition was beneath them. Well, they are going to be sitting out for a very long time, then.
On the Conservative side, however, it brought in Kwasi Kwarteng, Priti Patel, Dominic Raab, Chris Skidmore and Elizabeth Truss, to name but a few. People who believe that rail fares could be cut by cutting benefits and by introducing third class tickets for standing only. That the British are unemployable idlers. And that Boris Johnson should be Prime Minister. Among so very much else besides. All in the same Blairite, Murdoch vein.
