The Price of Power Nobody Talks About

What if the real scandal in politics isn't corruption or broken promises, but something far more insidious? When Anne Milton won her parliamentary seat, her best friend's reaction wasn't congratulations but horror: "What have you done? Oh my God. What the fuck have you done?" This visceral response captures something we all sense but rarely articulate-politics destroys people. We consistently rank politicians as Britain's least trusted professionals, viewing them as self-serving careerists detached from reality. Yet beneath this contempt lies a darker truth: most aren't villains but decent people trapped in a system designed to break them. Westminster operates like a meat grinder, churning out unrepresentative lawmakers, crushing families, and producing disastrous policies. The machine itself is broken, and it's breaking everyone inside it.
