What’s the average age of the 77 retirees?

Yes, but how many MPs can you name who quit Parliament when they got to state pension age?Probably, but would hazard a guess it’s around normal retirement age and older than many other public sector employees retire.
Depends if they were in politics to "serve the wonderful voters" or to get their faces in the trough.Would anyone here actually stand again if they were in their mid 60's or older, had a decent pot of money in the bank and knew you weren't going to get the job again? I wouldn't, and I suspect nor would any Labour or any other party politician. Pretty normal human behaviour as I see it.
ISTM that the economic ground the two main parties have fought over is not centre, but hard right. It is the economics of privatisation, deregulation and public spending cuts.both parties competed very hard for an increasingly narrow economic "centre ground", and then tried to manage the widespread sense of disenfranchisement that followed by moving ever further to the right on social issues.

I think not wanting to be a podium on election night coming in fifth place after the Natural Law Party candidate is pretty good motivation.
A simply outrageous assertion. If it was a criminal entity it would be subject to the full power of the law and prosecuted. But I guess you're going to assert they're all part of the corrupt establishment machine.As ever follow the money. Look at how the party is funded (though you have to dig a bit as it is so deliberately obfuscated). Look at how many MPs are multimillionaires with outside interests worth multiples of their MP salaries, bogus “directorships” for lobbying etc. Barely a week goes by without one of them getting busted for lobbying, shilling, fiddling their taxes, or dipping the till in some way or another. Then look at how they sell peerages, state assets, contracts etc. Political corruption semi-“legalised” via deliberately bent rules.
The UK Conservative Party is a criminal entity IMHO. Gangsters, albeit very posh public school educated ones. The last thing it represents is the wider electorate.
