Only then provide upward scope for the constituency elected winners to (also) oversea a cluster of adjoining constituencies, ie regions. Those who rise to that regional position through merit and voter approval will, after a reasonable innings, make their next step, to rise up the pyramid to be amidst a small select and elected group who run central government.
But how would this happen in practice? Would they get elected into government?
At this exalted stage the identity of their political origins and Left vs Right orientation would and should cease to be relevant. What a relief to get rid of that tedious partisanship. This dynamic board of directors would have an equal vote in making decisions. Their chairman would be Prime Minister (CEO) and would have a casting vote in a deadlock.
Why do you assume that political affiliation would wither away? It could be the opposite. Councils are filled with generations of political hacks, quite often married to each other. Your suggestion could make it easier for such people to get into government, could it not?
I'm not saying I dislike the pyramid idea, I don't, just not sure how it would work and how effective it would be.
As for PM, would the PM be the boss, or could the PM be overruled by cabinet colleagues?
(Thatcher and Blair were more akin to presidents who could not be overruled, whereas as Major and others were the total opposite who wanted to have "consensual" cabinet and got nowhere.)
