Would you go back to Parliament if a constituency was offered?

Oona King (Author and Former Member of Parliament) gives expert video advice on: What is 'House Music' about?; Why did you write it?; Do you miss Parliament? and more...

Not at the moment. Absolutely not. For me, personally, right now, I can't imagine ever going back. But if there's one thing you learn in politics, it's never say never, and a safe seat. Well, I was asked to stand in, and I've been asked to stand in a couple of safe seats very recently and I said no. I didn't put my name forward for the selections. A lot of people think, "Oh, she's an MP. She's a politician". Well, I'm obviously not an MP but I'm "a politician. She can't resist it. She'll have to go back." And it's not true.
