My view is that that would achieve good progression from where we are now in terms of appointment. However, it means that people who are here as politicians—as 80 per cent would be under my model—would have some form of mandate through votes cast by the British people. I do not think it defensible over the long term for people like me to come here through the patronage of the Prime Minister or the leader of my party.
