Yeah, let’s have a referendum on that. I’m not sure what to have for lunch – can we have a referendum on that. Also, my mum’s invited me for tea but i’m quite busy tomorrow night & Saturday and wouldn’t mind getting drunk – another referendum maybe. Is cheese better when a bit smelly or not? So many questions, so many plebicites – all gets a bit like hard work sometimes.

There is a very simple, and cheap, way to get a fully representative parliament. Just select 500 people at random and compensate them for the disruption to their lives. This has three great advantages. It consigns the political class, Novyklatura, to the dustbin of history, it ensures a pretty accurate reflection of groups and minorities down to about 1%, it is very cheap to operate. It would probably have to be combined with a separate election for the executive but that would be no bad thing either. The only people who wouldn’t like this would be those with a vested interest in the status quo, or those who cannot understand the maths (it’s the binomial distribution!).
