A comedian with a dustbin on their head (Count Binface) would probably have a much more consumer focussed view that their contemporaries. Binface's policies do include such things as reducing the price of a 99 Flake ice cream to 99p and capping the cost of croissants - joke policies, but better than politicians just kow-towing to corporate interests.
That reads to me like a hand wavy an excuse for not asking what we can do to make our system more representative of the voters’ will when it should be.
