Political parties are firms that sell political representation, but the whole
staging in which politicians pretend they are one of us is pure fiction. It is
nothing else than a marketing ploy so we get to support their firm instead of
their competitors.

"We need to elect politicians that are more like Collective X because
Collective X needs representation" is just a fantasy. Politicians will never be
Collective X.

Besides, you don't need somebody to be $you in order to represent you. Most
mathematicians would get a lawyer to represent them in court even if the lawyer
will never know what a Lagrange Transform is.

TBH, when evaluating candidates, I never consider age unless it is something
that might prevent the candidate from doing the job he is being paid to do. A
20 years old factory worker does not need the Prime Minister to be a 20 years
old factory worker. He needs a Prime Minister who understands and defends his
interests, full stop.
