Exactly. It's a case of no necessarily who are the best people for the job, but who is less incompetent or likely to do least damage. The EU leaders were far more credible than Doris and Truss. But a dead sheep would win on credibility against those two.
I said using DNA from modern populations to trace deep ancestry is flawed.Your understanding of maths and DNA is at fault.
Your model relies on one parent with a low percentage of Germanic DNA reproducing with another of little or no Germanic DNA.
If your GGGGGgrand parents had 100% Germanic DNA, your GGGGgrand parents will also have 100% Germanic DNA, not 50% as your model shows.
But DNA inheritance doesn't work like that.
It's hapazard and random.
Concepts – Calculating Ethnicity Percentages

Ancient genomes reveal that the English are one third Anglo-Saxon

Where do you think Anglo Saxons originated from?
Which completely agrees with my original comment.
So we've spent 4 pages, for you to finally agree with me.Inside every Brit is a German trying to get out.
Genetic study reveals 30% of white British DNA has German ancestry
...with most white British people now owing almost 30% of their DNA to the ancestors of modern-day Germans.

Don't fall into the mind frame of Vinty.
Ancestry.com et al deal with named amcestors and direct lineage.
DNA ro trace origins of ancestors is a differnt field of research, and more anthropological than familial lineage.

Your original post claimed the British people were of 30% 'German' ancestry.
The link shows that the Anglo Saxons were more closely related to modern day Danish and Dutch populations, there is no mention of Germans.
Unlike most studies which use DNA samples from modern populations, the study i quoted was based on DNA samples from the remains of actual Angles and Saxons.
I don't dispute that Britons have an Anglo Saxon heritage, i dispute your claim that
that British people are genetically 30% German.
What nationality do you call people who, a thousand years ago, used to live in what is now Germany?

What these Ancestry. com companies don't tell is that even identical twins can get different ancestry percentages from the same company.
I'm not falling into any mind frame - I couldn't name my great-grandparents, much less be bothered to trace any of my family tree - I was merely questioning what point you're trying to make, when you yourself state that DNA inheritance is "haphazard and random".

Have you any idea what Europe looked like in the 5th century?
I'm pretty sure ancestry.com don't go back that far.
