Why are our politicians so stupid?

Chris Huhne: career destroyed because he was stupid enough to lie about who was driving his car when it was clocked by a speed camera.
Aidan Burley: career destroyed because he was stupid enough to go to a stag party where a guest was dressed as a Nazi.
Patrick Mercer: career destroyed because he was stupid enough to fall for a sting by reporters posing as dodgy lobbyists.
Maria Miller: career destroyed because she was stupid enough not to show contrition for a row about her expenses.
Brooks Newmark: career destroyed because he was stupid enough to send compromising pictures of himself to people he didn’t know over the internet.
Emily Thornberry: career destroyed because she was stupid enough to post a disparaging tweet about a voter and now

Andrew Mitchell career destroyed by his failed libel case 

Three former cabinet ministers plus a shadow cabinet minster. The creme de la creme of our political elite. I cry for our country ruled by these people.

May I humbly suggest that a number of factors are at work.

MPs get paid. This fact finances a self-serving gang who are able to hi-jack the democratic process

People under the age of 40 are allowed to become MPs. If there were an age limit then prospective MPs would have had to have made their way in the world before entering the Commons.

Through the prism of their inbred arrogance this self-styled elite has a sense of right and wrong whereby everything they do is right and everything everyone else does is wrong. The foul-mouthed rant from the deeply unpleasant David Mellor sums up the general attitude of a very smug bunch of people.

No need to be humble and anonymous, I agree with your every word!
