Thanks for your great and as you say beautifully presented article! You worry that skeptics will say that such proposals go too far and might break the current system; I'd argue that in fact proportional representation does not go far enough!

Since I love the idea the way you are opening constitutional issues up for real, concrete debate, I took a leaf out of my late Dad Maurice Pope's book The Keys to Democracy: Sortition as a New Model for Citizen Power and pulled together what he might have written in response to your piece:
