Oh, Shatner as official representative of the Queen would be great!
Seriously though, it would be great if this incident was enough to change GGs from being about popularity to being about sound personal history and judgement. Wouldn't it be great if we could all relax, knowing that the crisis would ultimately come down to the judgement of someone who could put aside any personal partisan interests and make a ruling based on historical precedent and the good of the country?
Michealle Jean hasn't really been tested in this capacity and I think she'll be able to put her bias aside, but at the same time, her personal history means that any decision she makes in favour of the coalition will be blamed on her separatist ties and appointment. She doesn't have the necessary optics of impartiality.
