What is needed is people who are not graduates of the Russell group of universities or better still, not university graduates at all.

These universities are very good at churning out clones, and it makes little difference if graduates are women, members of 'minorities' etc. They all think alike and unfortunately they dominate all our institutions.

Exactly right- the oxbridge elite of the white western patriarchy.

Capability should always be the criterion, not race or gender.

Rubbish. The make up of those in political office should reflect the population that they serve. If not, why not? Everyone is equally 'capable' of serving given the same opportunities.
