Hello everyone, New to the forum so I thought I would start off a topic. I am a student at McGill and I have a really strong interest in Can. Politics. I stumbled onto this site and thought it would be a great place to discuss with other politically engaged people. I have also recently started writing a column for a school publication and my latest article was about young MPs and how they have performed. Do check it out if you like.( http://thepoliticalbouillon.com/en/category/americas/national/the-backbencher/) Anyway, I was wondering whateveryone thinks of these MPs and more broadly MP amateurism in general. I read the Samara report “Accidental Citizen” and I think having diversity in the House is absolutely brilliant. Though one cannot discount the fact that in can come at detriment to incompetence. What are everyone’s thoughts? How do we balance diversity in the HoC with competent individuals? Is there even a need?
