@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us What's the proportion of MPs who are landlords, compared with the general public?

Here in Ireland it's one thieving landlord bastard in six TDs, compared with about one in fifty of the general population.

@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us 18% of TDs vs 2% of the wider population (that 7% in the article headline relates to the increase in landlords).

@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us As of 2024 it's "at least 93" MPs out of 650, so 14% (possibly more).
