For ~650 years Parliament was only ever convened to raise taxation to wage war - at what date does your data set start?

The problem with politicians these days is that very few come from working class backgrounds. If you look at most of them now, a lot are millionaires and totally out of touch with the needs of the people.

Its not just this they also have little or no experience out side of politics as we can see from our glorious leader
Cameron studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at Brasenose College, Oxford, gaining a first-class honours degree in 1988. He was described by his tutor, Professor Vernon Bogdanor, as "one of the ablest"[2] students he has ever taught, with "moderate and sensible Conservative" political views.[3] While at Oxford he was a member of the Bullingdon Club. He then joined the Conservative Research Department and becameSpecial Adviser to Norman Lamont, and then to Michael Howard. He was Director of Corporate Affairs at Carlton Communications for seven years.
Cameron ran on a Eurosceptic platform in his first bid to enter Parliament, in Stafford in 1997, when he was defeated. He was elected in 2001 as the Member of Parliament for theOxfordshire constituency of Witney. He was promoted to the Opposition front bench two years later, and rose rapidly to become head of policy co-ordination during the 2005 general election campaign. With a public image of a youthful, moderate candidate who would appeal to young voters, he won the Conservative leadership election in 2005
At least Staffodians had some sense

Not much chance of that happening but it seems Miliband seems to have resigned himself to get a severe beating in Scotland and will have to cosy up to the very people who gave them a severe beating to be able to form a government. This smacks of weakness and adds to the depressing resignation that we are heading for a hung parliament and that more debate is about coalitions rather than putting forward the policies that will improve the quality of life in the UK

The Nasties have the momentum, The Vicious may have the bargaining power
Thus we go from a golf club right wing coalition to a stormtrooper right wing coalition all because of a lack of a credible Thickos
The British are a bizarre collection of masochistic morons topped with a thin spread of reason
Lazy, dumb decisions made on an argument raised in scare sheet owned by families of Nazis
The 2007 crash was not near severe enough
The next will turn neighbour against neighbour
Head for the hills
If wet in village hall
