Central bankers should not be running for office, and convention has generally been that they don't. It is instantly obvious that this creates a conflict of interest for the banker. There are some institutions which should not see cross-over. We wouldn't want a supreme court justice to run for the PM job for the same reason.

OK I'll bite. It is not instantly obvious to me why Carney's time as a central banker in 2008-2013 (over a decade ago, under Harper) and afterwards, for the Bank of England is a conflict of interest to run for Prime Minister. Explain.
