it is perhaps a good time for you to start thinking what would be the qualities you would look out for when voting for a potential MP candidate. We shouldn’t engage in personal attacks but should, instead, look at candidates in a rational objective manner.

Remember you need your point, explanation and evidence (if possible).

When voting for a potential candidate( I have never done so before as I am still a teenager), I would look out for the same aspects as I would in selecting a class monitor or chairman. Basically, I would look out for the ability that the potential candidate has to lead and push forward a group of people. Firstly, I would want to make sure of the candidate's personality and reliability. I would need to know more about him, for example his integrity and foresight, or the ability to inspire and persuade others. Factors like age and gender are not important, as although some people may argue that older candidates have much more experience in their field of work, it is the candidates PERSONALTY AND ABILITY to learn and adapt to new situation that really counts. What is the point of having a more experienced candidate if he does not ever work well with his subordinates and is a disruption for others. Thus age or gender very rarely matters in most cases, and the recent uproar over Ms Tin Pei Ling was in my opinion rather unjustified.
