Bostrom's old model has some flaws. It's non Pareto and doesn't ignore irrelevant information (such as the different possible colours of paper the parliament could use). Finding sensible ways of aggregating preferences is a tricky problem, with fewer useful methods available than you'd think. With Will Crouch and others, we're trying to come up with a sensible way of doing this.
