Yes, absolutely. It's a great compromise and it would do it. What is it; 338 works pretty well for the House of Commons, and I think it would work pretty well for a national citizens' assembly as well. You want the number to be high enough to be representative, but to sort of echo what Ms. May was suggesting, you don't want it so high that it's unworkable, because with 676 people, I don't know how you would do it. So that is a nice compromise. You might even be able to do it with less than that. Again, that's a question to work on with statisticians as well, especially if you want to build in the representativeness that you were talking about earlier.
