BerrySteph said:The solution is simply - put the choice of judges in the hands of non-politicised professionals.
I don't know if there is any such thing.
You would have to find clueless idiots with no opinion on any issue - social, political or economical - and then ask them to set up the Supreme Court.
Don't get me wrong - John Oliver had a great idea...

The PM can make recommendations, and likely does it through the attorney general.
As for stacking the court with "like minded" judges, I honestly would not know any of their political leanings any more than I know their name.
