That's the truth of the matter. Of course it's a career, nothing wrong with that. The claim is not the "right people" (that's in the private and charity sectors) it's a "wide range of people" (which is means, people who could not otherwise afford to become MP's).

This development of the thread is one reason that contributed towards Trump and Brexit. People at large will put up with a great deal provided they think they are being treated fairly.

This generates unpredictable outcomes and beneficiaries and is at the mercy of contemporary events.
