Transition from MP Life to Advocacy

The transition from being a Member of Parliament to engaging in activism brings about a complex emotional landscape. Leaving behind the structured life of politics can leave a former MP feeling disoriented, as the roles and responsibilities that dictated daily activities are removed. The challenge is further compounded by the desire to maintain influence and accountability, often leading to feelings of helplessness when observing political decisions from the outside. Despite these challenges, former MPs continue to advocate for their causes and seek ways to hold those in power accountable.
