footnote 2 - significantly and over should either get a room, or have a bit of space put between them.

footnote 4 - either of them should be any of them.

Thank you for the extremely niche election commentary I was looking for. I will be voting for Lord Smith.

Lord Smith referring to a "dangerous world of misinformation and “fake news"" seems worrying, given that these terms lack an empirical basis and are typically used to shut down debate. On the other hand his statement that "a genuine commitment to freedom of speech is so important" is, of course, good. What should we conclude about his overall views on the area?

Absent more information El-Erian's generic statements about academic excellence, strong finances, and academic freedom seem preferable.
