Rory Stewart became a MP because Cameron tried open primaries. Unfortunately he stopped the experiment and they went back to the usual pet people approved by Cchq
Since I got a like, I need to correct myself, Stewart was approved by CCHQ, the difference is the local party did not have the say. The locals selected him.
Some advice: you are too verbose for the size of your readership. Brevity reduces the opportunity cost.
I don't think this is a problem of people, it's a problem of a lack of ideas. And that lack of ideas is driven by not having a clear ideological mindset to approach problems.
Without an ideology you will just do what the experts say, or near to it, you will never be able to generate your own ideas. And without an ideology you will not attract people who actually want to make a difference, you'll instead attract people that want to win. The desire to win is corrosive because it causes you to compromise down to the point at which the low information voter (which you will now be exclusively chasing) can't tell the major parties apart and will just vote on vibes.

Are you saying the locals both didn’t have a say and selected him? 🤔
I meant the local Conservative party didn’t get a choice. The local voters chose him.
