Oh good, a reasoned and well thought out argument regarding a change to the entire voting system in the UK.
Glad I’ve already voted or your comprehensive and intelligent argument may have persuaded me I must have read the arguments for and against the wrong way. Obviously I should have realised one side of the argument was bullshit and complete misinformation and the other side was, well, bullshit and complete misinformation. But bullshit and complete misinformation as espoused by the greatest intellectual minds the UK can produce, comedians.
Why on EARTH would we listen to a celebrity of any kind in connection with ANY subject whatsoever? I would not regard a Professor of Economics as a person qualified to debate frame design with Brant et al, even if I respected his intelligence generally. Why would I listen to an actor – mark that – an actor, who is inherently unlikely to be able to contribute to an intelligent discussion, and is inherently a practiced liar. That is, after all, what an actor does well.
In fact, I would be more likely to vote opposite to a celebrity, if for no other reason than it shows the paucity of merit in the arguments of that campaign if they have to wheel out actors for the lack of anyone more qualified. Bah.
