It occurred to me at the time that this poor woman's sort was actually part of the problem, the issue.

Yes, she was *from* there and everything, but her career suggested she was much more concerned with representing foreigners, in foreign even, than she was bothered about standing up for local people in her constituency.

I'm a long way away from it though, so I could've misread the whole thing.
