I really admire her after seeing this. She is so dialled in to what’s going on in her working area, and she doesn’t get flustered when probed with follow-up questions. Regardless of party, we could do with more people like her running and being elected as MPs - but I imagine she wouldn’t even consider it.

This 100% this.

As much as I am left-of-centre I respect all MPs that are local to their constituency and actually listen to their concerns with proper surgery hours. This method of political parties parachuting in politicians is one of many issues with the way representative democracy has been implemented in this country.
