For the same reason as regional representation, I have been against this. I believe we should elect who we feel is the best person to judge our national. We should not be limited by avoiding someone on the board, and rather have the freedom to elect who we believe should be our judge. In Germany the president judges the National. I like our method better. We elect who we feel is best suited for the job, and then live with our decision.
