Pretty sure MPs across the spectrum have these interactions. Not sure if it's the stress, the type of person that volunteers for the job, or just that some percent of the population is like this and MPs aren't special.

We should pick MPs like we pick a Jury. People are randomly selected, some limited ability to challenge a selected person if they would be terrible, people serve their term but never again.

I'm not serious, but the more I wrote it the more I started to convince myself...

As with many ideas, Terry Pratchett has done this in one of his novels.

It's also worth noting the idea that someone who actually wants the job is often the last one you want having it is nothing new.
