Being a Member of Parliament is an important job. It's a vital part of democracy, and MPs protect our country and make far-reaching national decisions. A vital part of any democracy is that all citizens are equal, and equally able to participate. So if we look at the list of MPs, we should find that very few have any political background, since there are so many other jobs out there. Let's be generous, and say no more than 5% should have a political background (by which I do not mean career choice, since that's a sad necessity in modern life, but family background).
So, in order, with the categories [party], [education], [wealth], [politics], where wealth and politics are judged on family background, except for late entrants in life whose personal wealth is also relevant. I need a spreadsheet, so internet crawling for data will come later.
Labour: 1
Grammar: 1
Wealth:
Politics: 1
