Talk:Emily Benn

message: The phrase "...is the elder child and only daughter of Stephen Benn and Nita Clarke (née Bowes)" leaves it ambiguous as to whether her parents were married at the time of her birth, or are married now, or both, or neither. I don't know the factual answer in this case -- can a clearer phrasing be used? --mervyn 18:45, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Name confusion

message: Why is there such detail on the records this woman would break in the very unlikely event of her being elected? - V
: She will, regardless, be the youngest (or, depending on when the election is and on who else runs, one of the youngest) candidates in history - she's 18 today, and the lower limit was 21 until the S.17 of the Electoral Administration Act 2006 (which came into effect on January 1st). -- 217.42.190.82 15:46, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Youngest MP Record 

message: Not being real familiar with UK politics, I don't know what "MP" is in this context.  Would someone please put the definition of "MP" in here somewhere?  Preferably with a link to the Wikipedia article about it.  Thanks! 205.245.254.151 23:52, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I would assume the answer lies in the huge lead of the sitting MP.  I wouldn't bet tuppence on her.  But it is a common practice to put rookies in for unwinnable seats to give them practice at running. BrainyBabe 08:33, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: What are her chances?

message: Emily Benn is the fifth generation of her family to be involved in politics - which is probably a record, even allowing for 'noblemen involved in central government administration (not having hereditary positions).'
Going more global, how many other political families are there extending beyond the parent-child set up? Offhand the run seems to be about three - the Nehru/Gandhis and the (US) Kennedys being the most obvious: are there others? Jackiespeel (talk) 16:34, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The various Earls Russell are up to 6, although they haven't all been elected, and Bertrand, the most famous one, was an activist rather than a politician as such. Across the pond, the Bush family are up to 4, although it's only a matter of time before the next generation come through politically. Totnesmartin (talk) 20:41, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Fifth generation

message: I have made Ms. Benn's job description more specific. "Banker" is perhaps a somewhat nebulous term. The page referenced didn't actually call her a "banker"; it just said that she "works at UBS investment bank", which could just as easily refer to a cleaner. She isn't a cleaner, though! I found a page that defines her job more specifically as being on the "multi-asset sales team" at investment bank UBS. I have therefore replaced the term "banker" with the more specific description. -- Oliver P. (talk) 00:34, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
