So how many come Friday will be elected for first time in their lives?

Could be quite a change over this time round - I will go for 57

Don't count if have been an MP before or winning back seat they held and lost in past

70 MPs aren't standing for re-election so I think you're a bit out there. Could be over 100

Should Ian Duncan Smith get unseated I reckon we'll see a potential future Prime Minister, Faiza Shaheen, elected for the first time. She's absolutely fantastic.

Are there any worthwhile blogs, vlogs, films or similar documenting the experience of a new MP entering the Commons for the first time?

It must be one hell of a "first day at a new job" - I'd love to read/hear about that experience.

Not to anyone who actually works for a living and has to pay for the handouts she and Corbyn want to give to anyone who doesn't want to work.

I'm not going to get into a policy argument with you because I have better things to do, but you really couldn't have formed a lazier and more I'll informed opinion if you'd tried, there
