No, but I do want to say something. What is important is the competence of the individuals. That said, avoiding all political issues is quite impossible.
There is a matter here of public education that has to be done. It's the government that decides who will be appointed and, in the choice..., if you say choice, it's because there are one, two or three possible individuals. The criterion that will ultimately be used to determine who must be selected should be competence first and foremost.
