MP Sam Carling
Discussion
Just seen him on TV doing an interview stating how he’s had life experiences that older MPs haven’t had (he’s talking like recent ones I guess?? Nursery, puberty, his first kiss?). Exactly what we need :-another naive MP who thinks he knows everything.
Couldn’t get it out of my head that he was Paul the alien….
Sam Carling MP

Like everything it should be balanced, a young person's energy and enthusiasm and older persons life experience,
In an ideal world parliament would be filled with a good cross section of society of all ages instead of the wall to wall professional politicians we seem to be stuck with.
Good on him for getting involved and elected.

He graduated University last year, this year he's an MP. Can we guess where this is going..?
Frequently we complain about "career politicians" - people who spend their careers jumping around in politics, with very little real-world experience. This is my biggest concern with Sam Carling, he's come out of Cambridge and gone straight into politics, no doubt given his academic performance, will continue to do well and climb in politics - and good for him - but, at what price to the constituents?
His lack of real-world experience as an adult, outside the cloisters of Cambridge, personally sends alarm bells ringing for me.

The trouble with "life experience" is that much of it is experience of times gone by and unhelpful to discussions about now and the future.

Years back we had an MP who had made his money running his own business so ran for Parliament to put something back into the local community. He had the experience of employing people, knew how to talk to people and certainly knew when someone was trying to bulls
t him.By all accounts the words no one in the local council wanted to hear were 'The local MP is on the line and would like a word'

Those who ignore the mistakes of the past are more likely to make them in the future. Randy Winkman said:

Why? it's not like he's been made Chancellor of Exchequer.He's one MP among 650. He has a different life experience to those much older than him.
He's as new at being an MP as the other ~300-ish brand new MP's, so will learn as well as anyone else
