Abstract
In 1882 Robert Louis Stevenson
commented that ‘Politics is perhaps
the only profession for which no
preparation is deemed necessary’,
and today it seems that his
comments still hold. Despite a
wealth of understanding in work
psychology about how to train and
support people in work roles, very
few efforts have been made to
apply this knowledge to political
work.
Can we explain this lack of
support and development for new
and existing politicians? And could
such provision be potentially
problematic precisely because it
challenges many of our taken-forgranted
assumptions about the
nature of work and learning?
