That wouldn’t be a bad deal, really, as the country should be better off with competent and highly qualified people running it.

Incidentally, this ‘over 60’ didn’t vote Tory at the last election!
I'm just talking about the demographics. And I think it's a bit of a cheek to complain about the younger generation (which many on here do), if you voted for the economic self-harm that was Brexit.
