Importance of Public Service and Constituency Work

Theresa May emphasizes the fundamental importance of public service and being a constituency Member of Parliament (MP). She highlights the role of a constituency MP in making a difference in individual cases, such as unblocking government systems and resolving housing issues. She also notes the contribution MPs can make to broader issues in their constituencies, such as improving the lives of the people they represent. Despite frustrations in opposition, May believes that the political system itself does not need to be fundamentally transformed, but rather the attitudes of individuals within the system, with a call for more diverse experiences and backgrounds among MPs.
