The country will be a better place when we stop judging people on their backgrounds - for good or ill - and reward competency and decency.
Given the absolute idiocy of people, that's almost certainly too much to hope for, for a very long while. In the meantime, perhaps the ruling class can get their just desserts, approximately, via the sort of crude algorithm the general populace is far more likely to employ.
I really can't see why flipping it is so very hard, when the pressure to do so has become so great.

I went to Oxford. My mum was a teacher and my dad (who grew up in a council house) was an engineer at JCB. I was also a teacher. About the only thing I have in common with Boris or Rishi is the university I went to, and being labelled 'a posh twat','tory' or similar on account of that used to irk me. Given I've got a reasonably pronounced Stoke accent, and am moderately to the left politically, it now just makes me smile.
