The document discusses the new generation of Prospective Parliamentary Candidates (PPCs) who are running for election in 2010. It notes that over 129 seats do not have incumbent MPs running again, meaning more new MPs could be elected than since 1945. The typical PPC is described as being mostly male, white, middle-class, and having previous experience running for office. However, there are some changes, with more female and business background PPCs. The economic and environmental crises shape the outlook of PPCs. Surveys found PPCs have more business and management experience than current MPs, and high numbers also have local council experience.
