I think the list is pretty damning of both parties. Very, very few of them have real world experience, real world experience as the general population would recognise it anyway. And the ones who do have some experience of life, don't seem to have done it for very long either.
The OPs comparisons are laughable and highly partial. A hilarious use of spin to promote the capabilities of the Coalition bench and minimise those of the Opposition.
Opposition lawyers are all characterised as "political campaign lawyers", whereas coalition ones are "lawyers" because it sounds better.
Nick Clegg is a "foreign correspondent", presumably because journalist sounds weak, and Labour have some of those.
To say Peter Hain is just trade union researcher is hopelessly ignorant.
"Eric Pickles - unknown" sums up the worthlessness of this cut and paste list of spin.

What does George Osbourne know about running a business? Or David Cameron?
Too true, what use is a PhD in political history if you want to be an MP.
Oh Dear God Almighty.
I would expect most PhD's to have a fairly narrow subject
