Comment on A symbol of British democracy, "The Queen shows us who isn't boss"parent

Comments

I actually like the idea of a hypothetical post-revolutionary Britain which seeks to emphasize the humble status of politicians by requiring that all their political arguments are voiced by a randomly-selected homeless person.

Kind of a mixture of the ceremonial humbling of the Queen mentioned in the original article and the Troubles-era rule that all Sinn Fein statements must be read by an actor.
