Maybe it's not such a bad thing that they haven't been around for decades learning how to do things the way they are being done now. Maybe change doesn't have to be scary. People say that they hate politicians and the way the big government machine isn't working, nothing will never change if we keep voting in the same idiots.
As a side note I doubt seriously that the Wildrose will form government but 30 seats would be a good start.

Would someone please explain to me why "have families" is even remotely applicable to being able to run for office? Popping out a couple kids and paying for child care is not at all useful experience for a political representative. (not downplaying parenting at all just to be clear - it's just not useful to rate political representation with)
The important part of the bolded sentence is "intelligent responsible". The rest of it matters not for candidate worthiness.
