> the talesmen would have to voluntarily accept to serve on the jury, it is by invitation rather than compulsion Of course you've remove an important qualification. Legally-speaking, you couldn't decline, but in practice since most judges recognise that a talesman is more inconvenienced than a regularly-summoned juror, it's effectively voluntary (and indeed you can decline, see this case in 2016: http://archive.today/2021.07.03-080147/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/trial-is-saved-after-passer-by-joins-the-jury-h9qn30xb9 http://archive.today/2021.07.03-080147/https://www.thetimes....). If you were summoned normally, you haven't much of a choice.
