If it makes sense for independent economics experts to set interests rates etc. for the Bank of England, wouldn't it make sense for electoral experts to set policies for securing our democracy? They already do this, at least in principle, for constituency boundaries, so why shouldn't they also do it for the machinery of the election process itself?
